The sea around Scotland is where these enormous turbines will first be installed. [1] says in the UK, offshore wind power is now slightly cheaper than on-land wind or solar. I assume the economics depends very much on the expected amount of wind and sun in a particular location, as well as the expected demand at those times. But until that red gas line is close to zero when the blue wind line is very high, it should make sense to build more wind turbines and solar panels [2].
