  • Providing peak generating capacity is expensive in calm weather, no problem in windy weather.

    Therefore those who consume electricity at such times could reasonably expect to pay more. This should however be done in an open, transparent and easy to understand way. I have a cynical suspicion that the intention is to "sneak in" some form of peak pricing, in the hope that customers wont notice, and also not to offer any discount at times when supply is plentiful.
