I do not know the relevant factors, but speculate they include:

(1) The cost of ‘wiring up’ windmills to the National Grid

(2) Whether we can develop batteries to store a large amount ready to be released when supply is low and demand higher

(3) The cost of alternative generation and wiring it in e.g. Solar panels, Nuclear

It may be that Gas power generation is needed for some years.

Government must assess the above and allocate resources, encouraging private capital.
