There's too much wind in three senses: - excess supply would force rates to go negative - excess supply would damage transfer equipment - the wind exceeds the safety rating of the generators, due to either vibration, blade stress, or thermal issues Increasing demand only helps with the first scenario, whereas I suspect the latter two are more likely reasons in the UK (esp with so much generation stranded up in Scotland).
