That's assuming an infinite grid across the UK, I don't have the wind generation figures of other countries on a per-minute basis. The current integration is about 10% of the UK's demand. The reason I'm "ignoring" it, even with an infinite grid across europe, when the wind is blowing in the UK's wind farms in the north sea, it's also blowing in the north sea for Denmark - UK wind production peaks match that of Denmark and Netherlands peaks. The figures are based on real figures in the UK from the last 12 months. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind power, with Netherlands, Germany and Denmark having their farms in the same location What happens when the wind isn't blowing in the North Sea, and UK, Denmark and Netherlands are all running out? That's not to say we shouldn't be pushing to double, triple or even quadruple wind production in the UK and the North sea especially, but we'll still rely on gas to fill in the quiet days for a long time yet. Dogger Bank alone can generate 110GW of energy, which is great, but that would mean when the North Sea is quiet we need to find 110GW from elsewhere. Sadly political changes in the UK, first in 2015, then in 2016 through today, have reduced the investment in wind power.
