- In terms of cost. A fleet mainly costs by purchasing machines, especially since prices have soared due to the high demand. The other costs are quite variable. The most determining factor (excluding machines) is the cost of connection to the network, which is done at the promoter's expense and which is excruciatingly expensive. That counts in millions of euros for a few kilometers. The percentages vary but it is certain that the machines (I mean manufactured, delivered, assembled, outside the foundation) represent much more than 50% of the total cost.

Wind power is profitable only because it is heavily subsidized. Wind power is used to puncture the taxpayer or the end customer.
As a reminder, the accounts for 2020 of the Beatrice wind farm in the North Sea:
Energy sale: £ 92,2 million
Renewable MWh grant: £ 281,3 million
Operating expenses: £ 127,4 million
In addition, wind turbines are much less reliable than expected. In the USA, where they are not subsidized, wind farms have already closed because they are not profitable, and of course no one was there to dismantle them. It remains to rot on its feet. In the best case, the pale not recyclable are buried! We have already discussed this here. Wind power is an ecological aberration. Environmentalism is now in the boot of the so-called green industry, which is only green in name.
