Decommissioning typically occurs at the end of a wind energy project’s operational life or when a project is fully repowered. The development of a decommissioning plan is usually conducted as part of the original project development. How does blade waste compare to other waste? Figure 12.

Wind turbine decommissioning presents a major waste management challenge. After 20 or so years of production, most turbines are decommissioned. Many metals in the electronics, gearbox, generator, nacelle, and tower can be recycled. The concrete foundation is potentially reusable.
The first turbines were installed in the early 1980s and stood 45 to 60 feet tall. Wind turbine decommissioning presents a major waste management challenge. After 20 or so years of production, most turbines are decommissioned. Many metals in the electronics, gearbox, generator, nacelle, and tower can be recycled.
It is a decision that is initiated by a project's owners and involves replacing older components with new technology rather than fully decommissioning (or removing) an existing wind energy project. Full repowering activities are not common but will happen more frequently as projects reach the end of their lifetime.
Estimates related to the amount of decommissioned wind energy blades have shown that less than 50,000 tons of blade waste, equivalent to 0.017% of combined municipal solid waste and construction and demolition waste, were managed by landfills in 2018.
