We study the stochastic homogenization processes considered by Baldi (1988) and by Facchinetti and Russo (1983). We precise the speed of convergence towards the homogenized state by proving the following results: (i) a large deviations principle holds for the Young measures; if the Young measures are evaluated on a given function, then (ii) the speed of convergence is bounded in every Lp norm by an explicit rate and (iii) central limit theorems hold. In dimension 1, we apply these results to the stochastic homogenization of random p-Laplacian operators for any p > 1.
