Windfarms shut by too much wind

UK’s grid ‘can’t cope’

Quote:THIRTEEN windfarms had to close during the gales — due to too much wind.

Some 650 megawatts of capacity was shut off — enough to power Bristol. National Grid must PAY the wind farm operators almost £2million for disconnecting, higher than the going rate for the actual power.
