Wind Farms of the Future Will Be More Powerful and Quieter

U.S. Department of Energy – The continuously evolving technological, social, and market factors of wind energy mean that future deployment patterns and related impacts may differ substantially from those of the past and present.
Local community acceptance of wind power projects can be strongly influenced by visual and sound impacts as well as local economic impacts. But all of these impacts vary as wind turbine technology and development patterns evolve.
Wind turbines installed in the “Future” period (2023–2025) are expected to increase in size by an average of 60% from the average of those installed in the “Then” period (2011–2020), while the average number of turbines is expected to decrease by 60% (from 222 to 89) at those sites.
