Wind Power

China's ultra-high-altitude wind power project connected to grid

China has brought an ultra-high-altitude wind project onto the grid, which points to continued progress in developing wind resources in harder-to-reach terrain. The main significance is whether projects like this can broaden the buildout of wind power and improve the reliability of renewable supply in China.

Britain paid to cut wind power and fire up gas plants as grid costs hit £47.9 million in a day

Britain’s grid is paying to curtail wind output and then running gas plants to balance the system, which points to a transmission and flexibility problem rather than a generation shortage. The cost burden falls on consumers and highlights why storage, stronger grid links, and better system planning matter for keeping renewables cheap and reliable.
