Presumably, the national grid contracted with the owners of the wind turbines to purchase all of the electricity produced by those turbines. If at times of low load this power is nor needed, then presumably some turbines are turned off, but the national grid still have to pay for the power that could have been produced.
The details may be more complex than that, but with a similar result.
