Wind turbine capacity and power generation capacity
How Much Power Does A Wind Turbine Generate?
Just because a wind turbine has a capacity rating of 1.5 megawatts, that doesn''t mean it will produce that much power in practice. Wind turbines commonly produce considerably less than

Wind Power: Capacity Factor & Intermittency
While wind power does not replace an equal amount of fossil-fuel capacity, it does replace production – for every MWh that is produced by a wind turbine, one MWh is not produced by another generator.
