One wind turbine consumes about 20 square meters of land at its base. There are sometimes gravel roads that lead to them from the nearest road, usually 2-3 meters wide and 10-50 meters long, to allow maintenance trucks to get to them. Calling it 120 square meters per wind turbine of actual land taken out of use isn't far off.
That's about a tenth of a hectare or a quarter of an acre. The rest of the land is still useful for whatever it was being used for before, whether that was farming, hiking, growing weeds, snowmobiling, grouse hunting or just sitting there unused.
As a wind turbine will generally bring in a lease value of $5000 - $8000 per year to the owner of the land, and as that is higher than most crops will yield per acre per year, it's an excellent additional revenue stream, especially for the multi-revenue stream, small-business owners we call farmers.
As wind turbines are spaced 6-10 blade diameters apart, a gigawatt of power generation would be spread over about about 518 square kilometres, or about 200 square miles. It would take up about 0.01% of that land. If it were all compressed together, it would be about the size of a nuclear plant.

What two energy transfers take place when a wind turbine is working?
When a wind turbine is working, mechanical energy is transferred from the wind to the turbine blades, causing them to rotate. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through the generator in the turbine, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
How much wind does a wind turbine produce in a day?
The amount of wind energy generated by a wind turbine in a day can vary depending on factors such as wind speed, turbine size, and efficiency. On average, a medium-sized wind turbine can produce around 30-50% of its maximum capacity over a 24-hour period.
How much wind can one wind turbine generate in one year?
The amount of wind energy generated by a wind turbine in one year depends on factors like the turbine's size, location, and average wind speed. On average, a typical wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 MW can generate around 5-8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in a year.
How much power does a wind turbine create?
The Power Generated by a Wind Turbine entirely depends on the capacity of the turbine which is installed.. there are turbines ranging from 1 watt to 10 MW that can be installed in a wind farm The installation of the turbine depends on the Wind Potential of the area.
How much energy is created from one wind turbine daily?
The amount of energy generated by a wind turbine can vary depending on factors such as wind speed, turbine efficiency, and size. On average, a typical wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 MW can generate around 5,000 to 8,000 kWh of electricity per day under optimal wind conditions.
Where would a wind turbine be found?
in space
How much room does a wind turbine take up?
one hundred wind turbines take up one kilometre of land
How much space would a land or homeowner need to operate wind turbine generators?
The most important thing to know about is your local laws. They will determine how much space they require for a wind turbine. However, half an acre of land is sufficinet if you are allowed to have one. It depends on how much power you want to generate, and if your land has sufficient wind (winds that are at least 10mph and sustained). Power generated is related to turbine size and spacing requirements. I'll assume you want a single residential sized wind turbine with about a 30 ft blade and a 120 foot height. That would need about 250 square feet of clear space.
How much is a wind turbine?
5.2 billion
How much does a household wind turbine cost?
Well recently i have been surfing internet for wind turbine, well a house hold horizontal wind turbine would cost around 1300pounds while the vertical ones are much cheaper.
What two energy transfers take place when a wind turbine is working?
When a wind turbine is working, mechanical energy is transferred from the wind to the turbine blades, causing them to rotate. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through the generator in the turbine, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
