There are a lot of variables including but not limited to size of wind farm, location, distance to national grid, type of ground (e.g. moorland, agricultural, brownfield etc)
An approximation for equipment is 1.7 million pounds per megawatt (modern turbines are usually 2 or more megawatts)
A lot of costs will be incurred in the early stages with planning, feasability studies, environmental scoping and studies, PR campaigns, consultation etc. This can easily run into 6 figures
Connection back to the national grid can be in the millions if a particularly remote location, at least hundereds of thousands if not.
Payback depends on location, here in the UK you should be aiming for 3-5 years to break even
Hope this helps
