A 5 megawatt wind turbine at it’s rated power and speed is turning 12 rpm. So each turn of the rotor would be 5000 kilowatts rather power per hour/ 60 min to an hour/ 12 rotors rotations per min = 7 kWh per spin. The average home uses 1500 kWh in summer and 500 kWh in winter per month so no where near enough per spin. It’s about 3.5 hours of power for the avg home per spin. 1500kWh /31days /24hours =2 kWh per hour.
