The construction of a wind turbine costs around 1.3 to 2.2 MILLION dollars, Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed. Depending on the individual terms of the Power Purchase Agreement, the average wind farmer can make $3,000 to $8,000 per year for the electricity that is produced by each turbine. This amount can be increased to upwards of $10,000 for larger utility-scale turbines with a capacity of two megawatts or more. So it would take around 400 years to just pay OFF a wind turbine if it costs 4 million and the farmer made 10000.
