Answer: The reason why some wind turbines stop working in windy weather is because the majority of electricity production on the grid for long periods of time comes from wind turbines. In these times, wind turbines, in addition to green electricity production, also contribute to ensuring that electricity consumption and production are always in balance.

If a wind turbine stops working in windy weather, it is probably because there is a problem with an imbalance between electricity consumption and production. Closing the wind turbine contributes to the balance of the electricity system and is necessary for the security of supply in the regional electricity system.

Answer: What role do wind turbines play for climate, environment and public health?

Wind energy is the most mature and efficient renewable energy technology. In good locations, new, large wind turbines are now so competitive that green electricity from onshore wind turbines is now the cheapest method of reducing CO2 in electricity production. Taking into account environmental costs and the purchase of CO2 quotas, wind energy is the most economically advantageous technology for generating electricity.

But the climate benefits – through lower CO2 emissions – are not the only advantages of wind turbines. The physical environment and public health will also be positively affected when wind turbines replace fossil fuels in energy production and transport. Unlike electricity and heat from wind turbines, the fossil fuels used in power plants and wood stoves emit polluting gases and particles.
