There has never been a 3 week wind drought recorded on the North Sea. Wind droughts on cloudy days are even more rare.

You don't need to have complete wind drought to have issues (three weeks with only occasional spikes topping at 50% available power is the kind of behavior I'm referring to, and this is routine). And most wind turbines aren't located in the middle of the North sea either.

not three, but 2022 saw a two week period of wind drought in the north sea.

This was well documented.
