The costs for a utility scale wind turbine range from about $1.3 million to $2.2 million per MW of nameplate capacity installed. Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed.
Average US wind O&M costs estimated at $48,000/MW
The median operations and maintenance (O&M) cost for a U.S. utility-scale wind farm with a full wrap guarantee was just over $48,000/MW in 2016 and the average age of installed turbines is now around six years, IHS Markit said in a new report.Nov 22, 2017

The wind farm is becalmed at night. Perhaps moon panels can help.
Something must be odd about CA as the wind actually picks up at night.
