Wind turbine size has an incredible effect on total power generation. The generated power is subject to the square of the blade length, and the cube of the wind velocity (which generally increases as you get further from the ground). Costs don't increase exponentially - so it's better to have fewer big turbines than many small ones. The result is that the wind industry (offshore - onshore is limited by physical size constraints) has been consistently getting bigger every year. https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/wind-turbines-bigger-better https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/wind-turbines-bigger-be...
