Thorntonbank Wind Farm, using 5 MW turbines REpower 5M in the North Sea off the coast of Belgium A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.As of 2020, hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, were generating over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year.
The Breakdown of Initial Wind Turbine Costs. $2.6 – $4 million per average-sized commercial wind turbine. Typical cost is $1.3 million per megawatt (MW) of electricity-producing capacity. Most commercial wind turbines have a capacity of 2-3 MW, but offshore turbines can be as large as 16-18 MW.

Wind turbine cost. A home wind turbine costs $20,000 to $80,000 for a complete wind power system large enough to meet an average home''s full energy demands. The total cost depends on the turbine size, type, capacity, and location. Onshore commercial wind turbines cost $2.5 to $4 million, while offshore turbines cost up to
Turbine owners receive payment from the energy consumer, whichever utility company buys their generated power. Depending on the PPA that both parties have agreed upon, the average payment is between $3,000 and $8,000 for each wind turbine. For the more powerful turbines that exceed 2Mw, the payments increase to $10,000+.
The 3 MW turbine platform offers more flexibility across wind regimes. Built upon the technology of its predecessors, GE Vernova''s 3 MW onshore wind turbine platform is adaptable to a full spectrum of wind regimes. Our 3 MW turbines range from 3.2 to 4.2 MW power output, and includes the 4.0-137, our highest performing turbine for Class III winds.
To support a large community with thousands of people, the size of wind turbine has been pushed to the limit that a 10MW (Mega-Watts) wind turbine is available in the market for harvesting energy. Because most of the land has been used and exploited, building offshore wind turbine farms is indispensible in order to overcome difficulty

There is also a reduction caused by the unavoidable inefficiencies involved in the mechanism, most wind turbines operate at around 30% – 40% efficiency though this may rise to 50% in ideal wind conditions. It is reckoned that an average onshore wind turbine rated at 2.5 – 3 megawatts can produce in excess of 6 million kWh every year.
All the most powerful turbines are offshore wind turbines. This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones. As of June 2024, the most powerful wind turbine in operation is the world''s first 18MW semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine, developed by Dongfang Electric
