From 75,486.0 MWh yesterday to a forecasted ~378,750 MWh on Nov 12. UK wind generation is set to surge, testing the grid's ability to absorb massive fluctuations. The intermittency challenge is real. 🌬️📊 curtailcoin.com

Yesterday, UK wind farms generated just 23,469.5 MWh. That's a huge drop from the year's high of 607,967 MWh on March 12. Low curtailment here means less wind energy for the grid. The intermittency challenge is clear. 💨📊 curtailcoin.com

Get ready for a quiet grid. UK wind generation is forecast to plummet from 199,402.5 MWh yesterday to just ~27,319 MWh on Nov 7 and ~23,058 MWh on Nov 8. The intermittency challenge is real. 💨📊 curtailcoin.com
Genuinely good news: the UK grid absorbed 201,883.5 MWh of wind yesterday with ZERO curtailment. Energy consumers paid £0 for switched-off wind. This is how it should work. ✅📊 curtailcoin.com
November's curtailment costs have flipped! After farms paid the grid earlier this month, the total for Nov 2026 now stands at £84,420 for 3,582.7 MWh curtailed. A swift reversal from the negative payments seen last week. 💸📊 curtailcoin.com

The UK's wind curtailment paradox deepens: So far this year (Jan 1-Nov 1), 10,803,750.1 MWh of wind has been wasted – far more than 8,322,097.8 MWh in 2025. But costs to consumers are down at £297,897,179 vs £326,015,618. More waste, but at a 'better' price. 📈💸📊 curtailcoin.
