Curtailment, like negative prices, seems like something that it is hard for people to have constructive conversations about.

Probably the cheapest and best option is to build more wind and not care too much if it increases curtailment.

Yes, all the things mentioned should be looked into and done when it makes financial sense but "wasting wind" is much less a thing to worry about than "burning gas", and I'd rather waste wind than waste money.

I like negative prices, I got paid to heat my hot water tank and have underfloor heating on last night for 1.5 hours.

Paid for 1.5 hours underfloor, or just on for 1.5?

*also where you are would be interesting. There's a big difference say between Scotland and Croatia.
