All of these costs are part of the true cost of wind power, but are usually ignored when the projects are being sold. (globalwarming.org)
I have calculated the capital costs of wind power in Australia at around $ 2.00 per installed Watt, or $ 6.00 per generated Watt (the weighted average capacity factor of Australian wind farms is 34 %). (ramblingsdc.net)
Unlike fossil - fuelled, or nuclear, power stations, once the wind farm is built there are, of course, no further costs for fuel; the capital cost is by far the greatest cost of wind power. (ramblingsdc.net)
