It's been very windy recently so we are hitting around 40-60% wind power at the moment but there were moments last year where we were only getting 3% from wind power if it isn't very windy and unfortunately that means using more gas turbines for power which is an expensive source of energy at the moment.

Thanks. Then it's essentially the same situation. I imagined UK might be more fortunate due to being an island.

But then wind power can only be part of a mix of energy sources, with a strong supply of baseload power backing it.
