风力发电厂(Wind Farm)，简称风电厂，系利用风来产生电力的发电厂，是属于再生能源发电厂的一种。目前，由于联合国《京都议定书》减少温室气体排放协议的关系，世界各国相继将发展再生能源列为重要目标，而在此情形下，风力发电厂也就成为各国首选的能源发展重点。
将风力发电厂与太阳能电池、常规或抽水蓄能的水电或高效的天然气涡轮机连接起来，也可以提供备用电力。
Backup power could also be provided by linking wind farms with a solar cell, with conventional or pumped-storage hydropower, or with efficient natural-gas-burning turbines.
许多乡村社区感觉他们的乡村正在被风力发电厂的发电机器破坏。
Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power producing machines of wind farms.
因此许多风力发电厂最终的碳排放量可能高于同等产能的煤炭发电厂。
So many wind farms may eventually emit more carbon than an equivalent coal-fired power station.
