The cost of electricity generated by wind power plants

The Cost of Energy Generated by Wind Power

Approximately 75-80 per cent of total power production costs for a wind turbine are related to capital costs - that is, the costs of the turbine, foundations, electrical

OverviewCost factorsCost metricsGlobal studiesRegional studiesSee alsoFurther reading

While calculating costs, several internal cost factors have to be considered. Note the use of "costs," which is not the actual selling price, since this can be affected by a variety of factors such as subsidies and taxes: • Capital costs tend to be low for gas and oil power stations; moderate for onshore wind turbines and solar PV (photovoltaics); higher for coal plants and higher still for waste-to-energy, wave and tidal, solar thermal,
