Completely dismantling wind turbines is significantly more expensive than many assume, according to a new Finnish study that cast doubt on the industry's assumptions about end-of-life costs. Overall, the Assessment of Decommissioning Costs and Financing Models for Onshore Wind Turbines report from. . Decommissioning is the structured process of dismantling, removing and restoring a wind farm site when the turbines are no longer financially viable. Decommissioning has always been a critical final stage in the renewable project lifecycle. Recycling options, particularly for turbine blades and. . However, thousands of wind turbines are reaching the end of their operational lifespan and need to be either repowered to make way for updated (often larger) turbines or entirely decommissioned to allow for new uses of the land they occupy.
