What is the land use requirement for a wind turbine?

During the construction phase, a wind turbine temporarily requires about 5,000 to 10,000 square meters (0.5 to 1 hectare) for access roads, storage areas, and construction facilities. After completion of the construction work, the permanently needed land area reduces to 2,500 to 5,000 square meters (0.25 to 0.5 hectare), with only a few hundred square meters, mainly the foundation, remaining sealed. The rest of the area can continue to be used for agricultural or forestry purposes.
