10. The article gives the expected energy for this wind farm.
It is 650,000 megawatt-hours or 2.3 petajoules. Averaged for the entire year, 31.557 million seconds, the power output averages 74 megawatts. The article makes no reference to whether the conditions here are better or worse than anywhere else, but I assume that the designers of the plant have analyzed the weather in their area in coming up with this figure.

The plant is tiny. Although it will do something to address global climate change, it would be a mistake to represent that it will do anywhere near enough.
