Wind power certainly can be ramped down or up. At least on level of individual turbines. Otherwise they could not lock them in storms when wind speeds are too high. If it can be done with higher wind speeds, nothing prevents doing it at lower.
Issue is that they got insane contracts that pay beyond market rates.
