The Columbus Dispatch for 27 July 2008 had an article about a proposed wind farm in Champaign County (about 50 mi NW of Columbus). Data were:
130 turbines
$500 million cost
Each turbine will supply 800 homes
From this, I deduce:
Output = 2.3 MW/turbine = 2.9 kW/home
Cost = $3.85 million/turbine = $1.67/watt
This all seems reasonable. In light of other estimates I have seen.
