During a tour around Atkins’ offices in the Middle East I visited our office in Bahrain’s World Trade Centre – one of our own! The building is notable for its large scale integration of wind power. Many people like the building and it has three big fans (boom, boom). Someone needs to clean the windows though!

A good wind generators cost is a function of your capacity to do the work yourself.. If your a good electrical designer …good electrician… good mechanic ..and good at obtaining the right materials from salvaged parts you can build a super system yourself for about 1500.00 that will charge your salvaged batteries and deliver about 3000 watt/hours thats pretty good through inverters…
Now for the well part i assume you mean water well…Unless you have a potable supply and a relatively close to the surface watertable the cost could run in the neiborhood of $ 25-$ 50 foot for a 50′ deep well small diameter…4″ or so for a drip well in a stream 24″ dia. 50 ‘ deep $ 2000-$ 4000….and for a very deep well 400’ or more the cost will be based on strata. A good figure is 4000 to 7000 dollars….
The next request you have is a septic system …lets just go with an standard septic system that is vented to the atmosphere….1000 gallon tank and field lines for a 2.5 bathroom 3 bedroom family of four. will run 4500.00dollars ..thats depending on percolation tests and actual fixture unit calculations. If you want more it cost more so be aware this is just about the minimum installation now a days…..
I know you had some rationale for these questions but my guess is your moving out of the city because the electricity is to high the water is bad and the sewer is allways backed up…???? right…??? Just had to say that…I feel like it all the time…..From the E…

I think Edisigne knows what he is talking aobut. It is quite high priced, but worth it in the long run!
