So the idea was in the EU that there will be a national grid for electricity , the idea when Spain produces too much green energy this could be off loaded in other county's.
the problem is politics and the UK does have interconnector with different country's , but when we require the extra demand it all depends on the other country's to say yes as it transpires that this is not the case and the answer is no.
So what you do with extra over supply , convert to Hydrogen on under peak demand.
Hydrogen conversion is not efficient but better then waste the electricity generated , so the question is how much which could be as much as 5% of the electricity generated in the UK.
Then there is BP , build wind power in locations that have no population ( Greenland example ) and convert to Hydrogen and ship.
hydrogen cars , ships , lorry's then trains , list endless
