Wind Energy Capital Costs - Wind Capex, Capital Expenses

How much does putting up a wind energy power plant cost in terms of capital expenses?

As of 2009, putting up a wind-energy based power generation costs about $ 1.4 million per MW in capital expenses. This is for onshore wind farms, the capital expenses for offshore wind farms are likely to be considerably higher.

Relatively, wind energy costs much less in capital costs than many other forms of renewable energy, such as solar (PV and thermal), and geothermal.
