That's how electric grids work all over the world. Why are you saying that's a problem? What's the alternative?
If the power in doesn't match the power out there will be a black out and if there wasn't why would you produce more power than is being used? Individual wind turbines are often turned off when there's too much power going into the grid.

- mytailorisrich 4y agoThat's not the same as your previous statement... Of course usage goes up and down. The problem you previously stated is that power plants are paid to shut down, which is not the way it has to be but rather the consequence of the chosen system of production. In any case, that's not the reason of the current "saving sessions" in the UK, as already said.
