Wind energy is one of the most sustainable forms of electricity generation. Wind turbines have near-zero water consumption and a minimal environmental footprint. The energetic payback of a wind turbine is remarkably short compared to its lifetime. Modern wind turbines take 3-14 months to generate the energy required to manufacture, transport, install, operate, and dismantle them. After that, the turbines generate clean energy for two decades and more, decarbonising our power supply one spin at a time.
