Orkneys net exporter of wind generated power they were having issues putting in the grid to deal with it.
From you link, it seems the lack of grid capacity in Orkney is limiting the installation of more power turbines at present. That is not an argument for not making fuel from wind or tidal power. Interestingly, the Surf & Turf project in Orkney is using excess generating capacity to manufacture hydrogen that is used in other projects, such as powering one of the inter-island ferries. In fact I missed any mention Zero Petroleum in the link you furnished.
