    So this is how much it costs to put up a wind turbine and the estimated payback times. Would be nice to know what size that guy's wind turbine is to work out the affordability of it.

    I think the offshore ones are about £14 million each to build, but put out much higher voltage so payback sooner.

    I think the £2,000 figure is a turbine company leasing the land and access?
