      It depends on the size of the wind turbine, so anything from a few kilowatts to megawatts of power. Wind turbines can be incredibly useful, when there is wind. Without wind they can’t do anything, so most wind turbines have an ‘availability factor’ which is a measure of how often they do produce power.
