Not so. Fraud requires an intent to deceive to make unlawful (or unfair) gains. They're probably just abiding by the license of the data or struggling with a technical limitation.

Someone is gaining from wind farms claiming power output numbers they don't produce. This website is grossly overestimating the output of wind farms. Seems plausible there's a relationship between those.

lol - fraud isn't purely limited to gains. Where the heck did you get that from? Fraud comes into play any time someone intentionally tries to mislead - for whatever reason. And there has been plenty of fraud around energy reporting - again, for various reasons.

The common and legal definition of "fraud".

Yep, this. Fraud is not a synonym of "lie" or "wrong".
