How much space does a wind turbine require?
There are different spacing requirements for different types fo turbines, so the amount of space required by a wind farm depends on the number and type of turbine being deployed. A typical wind farm of 4-5, V90 3MW turbines might extend over an area of 1 square kilometre, but only 1% of the land area would be used to house the turbines, electrical infrastructure and access roads; the remainder can be used for other purposes, such as farming or as natural habitat.
