Wind turbines are often repowered for economical reasons only. In most cases the subsidy scheme has already ended, making them available for repowering. Wind turbines are usually very well maintained and could be operated many years more. This means that a used wind turbine still has value. Therefore it makes economical (and ecological) sense to give these wind turbines a second run.
