Breaking Down Wind Power Costs

Like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, each component contributes to the total wind turbine system cost. Let's examine the key pieces:

Turbine Components (60-70% of Total Cost)

• Rotor blades: $150,000-$500,000 each
• Nacelle assembly: $1M-$2.5M
• Tower structure: $300-$500 per foot

Project Type	Cost Range/MW	Payback Period
Onshore	$1.3M-$2.2M	6-8 years
Offshore	$3M-$5.5M	10-15 years

Emerging Trends Shaping Costs

The industry's playing field is changing faster than a turbine in storm winds. Recent developments include:

• Floating offshore platforms reducing installation costs
• AI-driven predictive maintenance cutting O&M expenses
