In the DT -

"The operator of Britain's electricity network warned late on
Wednesday afternoon that low wind levels had forced it to search for
emergency sources of power.

In a statement, the National Grid Electricity Systems Operator (ESO)
said: "Unusually low wind output coinciding with a number of generator
outages means the cushion of spare capacity we operate the system with
has been reduced."

.... and the problem is??

Provided we still have spare capacity it's a non-issue.

The deployment of additional HVDC interconnectors to international wind
and solar farms will solve the issue long term.

I can't believe you don't understand just how stupid that statement is...
At the moment there is low solar and low wind power all across N Europe.
and the cost of extension cables going further is more than the cost of
building nukes.
