Wind turbine project installed cost: $ 2,000 / kW Typical mechanical life of a wind turbine: 20 years Hours per year: 8,760 Average availability of wind power: 24 % Market value of 1 kWh of electricity at production site: $ 0.07 Value of total electricity produced during wind turbine life: 20 x 8,760 x 0.24 x $ 0.07 = $ 2,943 / kW installed As you can see the payback on wind turbine projects is iffy even with no maintenance and operating costs included in the equation.

For comparison here is the same equation for a coal - fired power plant: Coal power project installed cost: $ 2,500 / kW (High end number — Some coal fired plants are built for $ 1,500 / kW) Typical life of a coal fired plant: 30 years Hours per year: 8,760 Average availability of coal - fired power plant: 88 % Total electricity production during plant life: 231,000 kWh / kW installed Value of electricity produced: $ 16,188 / kW installed Lifetime Cost of fuel = 231,000 x $ 0.006 = $ 1,388 / kW installed Net Value of total electricity produced during plant life: $ 14,800 / kW installed.

After mentioning that capacity factor is (correctly) relevant to comparisons, you then proceed on the basis of nameplate power ratings instead of annualised power production in TWh or time - averaged generating capacity after multiplication by the capacity factor.

And the EREC / Greenpeace's Energy [R] evolution» 24/7» report concluded that «during the last 30 years, the potential power production from wind during winter time throughout Europe in the Energy [R] evolution scenario would have only dropped below 50GW 0.4 % of the time, equivalent to once a year if the average duration of the event is 12 hours».
