Wow. Over a third of the renewable energy produced by Scotland’s wind turbines is “curtailed”. This means ignored, dumped, not used. Not that there isn’t demand for this power, just not enough power lines to move the electricity from where it is to where it’s needed. Or storage to hold it for when it is needed.  I realize the criticism of renewables is that it can be unreliable. But we are talking about wind in northern Scotland. It seems pretty reliable.
