Wind Turbines Could Continue to Grow, Reduce Energy Costs

A new study by Berkeley Lab suggests that wind turbines could continue to grow in size and further decrease wind energy generation costs.

The study was based on surveys of 163 of the world’s foremost wind energy experts, and aimed at gaining insight into the possible magnitude and source of future wind energy cost reductions.

The surveys indicated larger turbines are on the horizon, and will allow for lower costs both on land and offshore. The growth in land turbine size should be evolutionary, while offshore will have more revolutionary growth.
