That requires splitting the market into two zones along the bottleneck. Like for example Sweden has done. Then those wind turbines won't be bid into the market when the cross zone transmission capacity is maxed out.
You can imagine how palatable the politicians finds' it to split off Scotland to be its own market zone with vastly cheaper electricity.
