    An Interesting problem which is likely to increase electricity prices.



    On the other hand if demand is low wouldn't we expect the electricity market's 'spot price' to be low too? - so even with a small payment to one or two generators to cease, the overall costs aren't necessarily increased. The nice thing about wind is that it is reasonably 'switch-off able' - unlike conventional thermal stations.
