Um renewable assets don't run on an information island. Weather forecasting is part of the equation as well as being able to keep up to date diagnostics for operations.
"why is it connected to the internet in the first place?" Really?
I'll give you points on security concerns but your other comment is borderline ridiculous.
- dylan604 5y agoIf the weather forecasting for the windmills is as inaccurate as my daily local forecast, then I could see the systems just shutting down from inaccurate information! Seems like a centralized system looking at forecasts to predict energy needs that could then privately connect to the remote generating stations would be better than having them be internet connected.

I can't speak to your local capabilities but there different services that you can ascribe to. In terms of internet needs - there are many reasons that renewable assets need internet connectivity not strictly forecasting and it isn't unreasonable to be able to get secure connections.
