It is important to note that construction of wind farms is not down. 2020 had an increase in capacity of 20 GW with $31 billion of investment in offshore wind alone.

It's less about quantity of wind plants being built, but a unusually long period of quiet weather has led to output being down significantly from those already in place at time where gas was the only option to pick up the slack.
