From Deublin Co.

Compared to many other products such as PCs, mobile phones, or even cars and furnishings, wind turbines have an entirely different time horizon. Currently available turbines should be operable for at least 20 years, provided the turbine is properly looked after and serviced. And since these turbines are typically installed in hard to reach places or even offshore, the natural goal is to require "as little maintenance as possible" during this period.
