At www.enercon.de, you can see a wind turbine, E-112.  I want to know
how much this turbine costs for each one (In US dollars),  assuming
location is in Europe, several are purchased in a "contract" and
logistics is simple
and convenient, or a 'best case scenario of logistics' ?    Their
website is weak.  Perhaps other German electric company web sites
would state this info....or European newspapers on-line (?)  Please
also tell me the source of your answer.    Thank you !

I found a lot of information about the e-112 but the industry seems
remarkably reluctant to give any prices, probably due to the vast
variation in construction costs for each location. After all, you
don't just buy the hardware, you contract for an installation.

Sorry I couldn't find a specific answer.

Here is a web site which might interest you.

  www.sandia.gov/wind/ 2004BladeWorkshopPDFs/PeterJamieson.pdf -  

This article "Evolution of Modern
Wind Turbine Rotors" by Peter Jamieson, on page 21 gives the trends of
pricing varying with dia of blades. Minimum cost of about $550/kw is
achived where the dia is 50 meters.

E-112 has a dia of 100 meters. so the price per kw may be somewhere
between $500 and $ 1000

Hope this is useful.

Yes, one of the many documents I located.

The only answer is to contact the vendor and either convince them you
are a legitimate customer, or perhaps a student doing research for a
paper (no, I realize this wasn't a homework question, I was suggesting
a contact strategy).

First, there is no simple dollar amount answer to this question, but
if you are pressing for a "ball park" figure: $3-5 million.  Go to the
Danish Wind Industry Association:        
www.windpower.org/en/core.htm
Take the "Guided tour:, and click on "Economics".  This site is very
good at explaining; why there is no real set price tag for these
turbines especially if you are wanting more than one, the logistic and
setup costs, how long you would want to make payments, and why you
would want the huge E-112 if you are in Germany.
