How many wind turbines could fit in 1 acre?

The density of wind turbines per unit of land area depends on many factors. Wind farms containing very large (1.5–2 megaWatt) turbines may have only one for every 25–50 acres. Smaller turbines can be more closely spaced. read more

Wind farms containing very large (1.5–2 megaWatt) turbines may have only one for every 25–50 acres. Smaller turbines can be more closely spaced. At either rate, the overall harvestable wind energy per unit of land at fully rated conditions (approx. 12 meters/sec wind speed), is generally in the range of 50 to 100 kW per acre. read more

Navitas Energy, L.L.C. will erect 87 Enron 1.5-MW (nameplate) wind turbines on a 10,000 acre site. This amounts to 13 kW (peak)/acre, or 3.2 watts per square meter of land area. The wind turbines' diameter will be 70 meters. read more

You could put hundreds of small turbines on one acre, but it's much more efficient to use a few large ones. a 2 MW turbine will occupy an area of about 72 meters across. You don't want them too close, so I'll use 80 meters. read more
