Why Is Britain Turning Off Its Own Wind Farms

A sharp, documentary-style explainer from Modo Energy on why Britain pays to switch off its own wind farms, told through interviews with two of its analysts in a bright, glass-walled office. The satellite maps do most of the heavy lifting: wind farms appear as glowing blue bubbles across Scotland, transmission boundaries draw in as dashed lines, and red rings pulse over the bottlenecks, making a complex grid problem easy to see. We love the receipt that itemizes what curtailment actually costs, which turns a dry number into something you instantly get. The rest of the graphics stay simple, so nothing pulls focus from the maps.
