How can we reduce the electricity generated?

1 mw of simplest turbine all day vs 0,06 of solar panels only half day is unbalanced

Agreed - here are some ideas to make them less OP:

make the power output vary during the full day at random
make the power output vary depending on the obstacles (#trees, cliffs, factories) in the path the turbine is facing. If it's facing water, you have best performance.
require the turbine to be used with accumulator and slow down if the accumulator is full.

IRL turbines go to idle-mode if there is too much wind or if there is too much energy in the grid.

hey, its way too much output.

turbine level 1 - 0,5 mw
turbine level 2 - 1,2 mw
Turbine level 3 - 2,0 mw

like this would also be a lot of power, but as mentioned by trblz, this should be the max power output, if the wind is very nice. plz reconsider the poweroutput, it seems way too overpowered.

(1 nuclear reactor with all that building cost and research and the heatexchangers and the turbines and the uraniumprocesing progress brings 40 mw.... like 4 of your level 3 wind turbines.... )
there has to be such an option that it gets every few seconds different energyoutput like -0 to -100%)

thx for the mod

As above, current version is way overpowered compared to everything else. If coding variable wind power is too hard for you, I suggest these stats:

Tier 1:
51 kW output (effectivity = 0.1)
Recipe: 1 Engine
5 Electronic Circuit
5 Iron Gear
10 Steel
Total Raw Resources: 74 Iron, 7.5 Copper

Tier 2:
408 kW output (effectivity = 0.8)
Recipe: 1 Wind Turbine (previous tier)
5 Advanced Circuit
10 Iron Gear
10 Steel
Total Raw Resources: 154 Iron, 32.5 Copper, 10 Plastic

Tier 3:
2 MW output (effectivity = 4)
Recipe: 1 Wind Turbine 2 (previous tier)
5 Processing Unit
10 Iron Gear
10 Steel
Total Raw Resources: 385 Iron, 232.5 Copper, 30 Plastic

This way tier 1 turbine is more expensive than solar panels, but provides constant power,
and upgrading to higher tiers is cheaper than building more of lower tiers, with reasonable power output.

This would be a good amount as well I have to agree they are crazy strong currently.

I tried the mod. It's nice, but as said above, really overpowered.
