the split does really go like this

per 1MW, you'll typically have
turbine + tower: EUR 1M
foundations : EUR 0.5M
cable : EUR 0.5-1M
other: 0.5-1.5M (electrical equipement, onshore cable, development, finance)

Thanks for the data!

So the sexy "engineering" operational risk (turbine+blade stress) is limited to about 20-30% even if it falls down to replacing the whole top, with a premature replacement if needed probably bringing better efficiency and increase in life span.

The rest of the technology has been in place for a while for offshore oil and regular eletrical stuff so I think not really in the "risky" category.
