Overall, wind farms cost in the area of $1,000 per kW of capacity, so a wind farm consisting of seven 1.8-MW turbines runs about $12.6 million.
3. The levelised cost of electricity from wind varies depending on the wind resource and project costs, but at good wind sites can be very competitive. The LCOE of typical new onshore wind farms in 2010 assuming a cost of capital of 10% was between USD 0.06 to USD 0.14/kWh.
