What good is cheap if you can’t use it?

Why would I want to pay for cheap wind energy I can’t use, and also pay for gas energy that I can use? Unless the cost of the wind is £0, paying for wind in addition to gas is just a waste of money.

The wind is 94% used. Which reduces the gas use. What do you mean "can't use"?
