MAJOR UK POWER CUT - WAS IT DUE TO SUDDEN HALT TO WIND FARM IN HIGH WINDS?

This article looks at the recent major power disruption in the UK. There has been no definitive explanation for it, but some are speculating that it was due to a sudden shut-down of a major off-shore wind farm which was running at full capacity and then had to be stopped to prevent over-heating due to the very strong winds at the time. If so, it is a timely warning of what could be in store for us as we increase the amount of wind power in the grid.
