Spain hits 40 percent on windpower

Yes, earlier this year, at one point, 40 percent of Spain’s total electric generation was windjammer.
As heavy winds lashed Spain on Saturday evening wind parks generated 9,862 megawatts of power which translated to 40.8 percent of total consumption due to low demand during the Easter holiday weekend, AEE said.

Between Friday and Sunday wind power accounted for an average of 28 percent of all electricity demand in Spain, which is a leading world producer of such energy, a statement from the association said.

Why can’t we do this? Shrub and Uncle Fester, where’s your national energy policy?
