Land occupation

The necessary land to build a wind power plant is generally wide, since the distance between the generators must be accounted for. From this point of view, the power density (10 watts per square metre) is rather low. However, if we consider that windmills and flanking works only cover 2-3% of the territory, the density grows to hundreds of watts per square metre and the space between the two machines can be used for cattle or rearing purposes.
