The energy payback time (EPBT) for a modern wind turbine — the time it takes to generate the amount of energy that was used to manufacture, transport, install, operate, and eventually decommission it — typically ranges from 6 months to 1 year. Multiple studies back this up for different types and sizes of turbines. * A 2020 British-Greek study found an EPBT of between 4-6 months. * A 2014 US Pacific Northwest Study found the EPBT of two 2MW turbines was 5.2 and 6.4 months, respectively. * A 2018 Texas study found the EPBT for 1MW to 5MW turbines in onshore, shallow water and deepwater locations to be about six to 17 months. * A 2019 European study found the average EPBT of 4161 turbines to be 5.3 months. * A 2022 Brazilian study determined the EPBT of a 2MW wind turbine was 0.494 years, or just under six months. reneweconomy.com.au
