It's also just turned warm and sunny in the UK. I turned the heating off for the first time in months today and solar is producing just as much as nuclear right now.
At a much much lower cost.
Those wind shortfalls have a strong tendency to line up with good weather when solar produces more and heating is less needed.
The UK also has more pumped storage coming online and octopus even has home electricity tarriffs that promote time shifting demand.
