Question 1092625: No wind energy "farms" use large wind turbines to generate electricity from the wind. At a typical installation, a single modern turbine can produce an average power about 200 kilowatts. (This average takes wind variations into account.) How much energy, in kilowatt-hours, can such turbine generate in a year? Given that the average household uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year, how many households can be powered by a single wind turbine?

To find KWH, multiply the KW by the hours.

Given that the average household uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year, how many households can be powered by a single wind turbine?
---
Divide the KWH above by 10000.
