That's actually the biggest problem with wind power; when you have excess power, you can't do anything with it except curtail your production and lock your turbines so they can't spin. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/01... To be able to put that power to a good use, while also still realizing revenue (even at a lower per kwh rate) is win-win. Wind power, without subsidies, is already as low as 3-4 cents/kwh. If the rate of install continues, price will continue to decline, and we'll have even more cheap wind available in the US for large-scale projects such as this.
