The wind is blowing pretty frequently - the problem is actually more often one of transmission - there is not enough capacity on the grid to transfer energy from the relatively remote areas it’s produced, such as the Irish Sea, to consumers.
Further investment in transmission from snowdonia and expansion of pumped storage facilities could go a long way.
