13-12. Suppose the turbine and site from Problem 13-3 are used as the basis for an investment in a wind farm. Each turbine has a total cost of $1000/kW, plus 20% for all site and grid connection costs. Ignore operating and maintenance costs. If the project life is 25 years and the MARR is 5%, what is the cost per kWh to produce electricity at this facility, before considering any transmission costs?
