Overall, wind farms cost in the area of $1,000 per kW of capacity, so a wind farm consisting of seven 1.8-MW turbines runs about $12.6 million.
This improvement will be driven by declining costs of wind farm installation, foundations and turbine The potential for cost reductions towers, which are expected to fall by 6.6%, 6.1% and 5.4% respectively in the next five years.n terms of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE), survey respondents expect offshore wind costs to decrease to Â£122.70 per MWh for projects that reach a FID in 2018 and Â£111 per MWh for projects that reach a FID in 2023, a 8% and 17% decrease respectively on the current cost (Â£133 per MWh).
