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.
To illustrate the value, assume that a 100 MW (100,000 kW) wind farm has a capital cost of $1 million per MW (i.e., total capital cost of $100,000,000 million) and comes on line after the Bonus provisions have expired, let s say after January 1, 2005.IA estimates include (a) total overnight capital cost including contingency for wind $1,003 per kW, (b) variable O&M $0, (c) fixed O&M of $26.10 per kW all in 2001$. 3. EIA also makes estimates of interconnection costs which are not peculiar to wind but which vary by region from $175 to $457 per kW (in 2001$).
