  • National Wind Technology Center - Partnership Achievements - NWTC and its partners have helped advanced wind power technology by reducing the cost and increasing the quality of both small-scale and utility-scale wind turbines. Since the 1980's the cost of utility wind power has decreased from 80 cents (current dollars) per kWh to 4 and 6 cents per kWh. New blade designs and materials, better testing of components, and greatly improved computer modeling helped to make wind power the fastest growing source of new energy in the 1990s.
