When the wind has contracted to supply and the Nat Grid wants to renege its has to pay regardless -it is a contract. They then have to pay for the physical shutting down of the turbines including any consequences of doing so eg wear and tear. And they have to pay for the gas generation further south. Seems OK to me.
Interesting, I didn't realise about the shutting down costs.
Something was up down here today Rampion turbines were idle, as were the two Shoreham port ones most of the afternoon.

Thats because its been an extremely low wind day, especially in the south, nothing to do with curtailment. We are even burning coal and running the open cycle gas turbines now late into the evening.
