How much does a wind turbine blade cost?

The total cost of a wind turbine blade is estimated at $154,090.40. This cost breakdown is detailed in Table 26 and Figure 4 of the 'A Detailed Wind Turbine Blade Cost Model' document.

How much does a wind turbine cost?

The typical wind turbine is 2-3 MW in power, so most turbines cost in the $2-4 million dollar range. Operation and maintenance runs an additional $42,000-$48,000 per year according to research on wind turbine operational cost. See the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s website for the most recent (December 2022) Cost of Wind Energy Review.

How many blades can a wind turbine produce a year?

This model imagines a wind turbine factory producing 1,000 blades per year. However, users can easily edit this value to represent their specific needs in the model for a wind turbine blade cost.

How much does a roof mounted wind turbine cost?

Before you take the option of getting a roof mounted turbine you need to understand that it will probably not provide all the electricity you need (though it may well take the edge of increasing fuel bills over the next 20 years). The average cost of a roof mounted wind turbine is around £3,000-£4,000 which will also need to be maintained.

Are large wind turbines worth it?

As you can see, large wind turbines cost significantly more to run than smaller turbines. But as larger wind farms will have a heftier budget and more scope for returns, the maintenance investment is usually well worth it. It’s also key to note that these costs wouldn’t typically fall on a landowner unless they were self-developing a project.

What factors affect the cost of a wind turbine blade?

The size of the blade is one of the main factors that will determine the cost, with bigger blades generally costing more than smaller blades. In addition to the size of the blade, there are a few other factors that will influence the cost of a wind turbine blade.
