Payback on a 750kw turbine

Lads just wondering whats the payback on a 750kw turbine, very good site with turbines on it for the last 10 years

750 kw ? this is obviously as some kind of potential investment ?

I'd imagine you'd have to go down the commercial route and panning etc grid tie application etc and that I believe can take a very long time.

The cost to a private individual would be huge and you would have to find out the cost per kwh you would get over x amount of years.

ya the turbines already there with roads infrastructure, ill have the option of investment in 7 yrs. the payback is 7-10 yrs with probably 7 on these as the site is v good.

750 kw for a commercial site is tiny or would that be what you buy is 750 kw worth ? or how does it work ?

5-10 years isn't bad depending on how much you could make after ? per kw or year ?

sorry 750MW with the option of maybe bigger ones in the future

AH gotcha, was wondering.

750 Mw is a completely different story then.

So how much would that cost you then ?

I really wish these turbines would reduce electricity costs for normal people as we were promised but instead we subsidise them to make shareholders richer.

So how does the whole thing work ?

Do you buy 750 Mw and they pay you x amount per kwh after ?

I would say if this was gas or Nuclear then you would make far more as wind can be very unpredictable.

I'm not sure 750MW turbines have been invented yet. The largest in the world at the moment is Enercon's E126 that's 7.5 MW with a blade diameter of 127m.

No I know that what I meant was the combined output of the turbines/farm, or the peak output in ideal conditions.

Ah, fair enough.
