Description
In 2025 the money spent on turning OFF wind turbines will reach £1.8 Billion. Only part of that cost is for switching them off or "Curtailing" generation. The rest of the costs I explore in this video and why we have to curtail generation in the first place, and the solutions I and thousands of others are working on to reduce that waste.
Last year over £2B was spent on balancing the grid, see the NESO report here:
