It's been very windy recently so we are hitting around 40-60% wind power at the moment but there were moments last year where we were only getting 3% from wind power if it isn't very windy and unfortunately that means using more gas turbines for power which is an expensive source of energy at the moment.
- mikaeluman 4y agoThanks. Then it's essentially the same situation. I imagined UK might be more fortunate due to being an island. But then wind power can only be part of a mix of energy sources, with a strong supply of baseload power backing it.
