Do you recall anything starting the hiccups? For me, if I have a cigarette while having a Coke will always set off some hiccups for me.

American wind tech here, not to steal the spotlight from the OP, but in the US, there are far more wind turbines than our grid can handle currently, so the turbines go into something called curtailment, which is where they shut down because too much power is being fed into the grid. Also, sometimes it's contractual, where a wind farm owner has agreed to only make a certain amount of power per given time period, and can actually pay fines if more power is made than what is agreed upon. Can anybody answer if it's the same in Canada?

It does, I can see that. The grid definitely needs to be built up to handle all the power.

I've worked in Illinois on the wind farms (Bloomington and Tiskilwa) and I can assure you, every time the rotor is spinning, it's making electricity.

Wind tech here. Turbines are generally built in rural areas instead of cities because there are way less physical objects (i.e. buildings, skyscrapers, etc) to block the wind. Any electricity made is fed into the grid. That electricity can go a lot of places. Not just one particular city or town. Right now, in America, there are three main power grids. Eastern, Central, and Western. And those grids power most of America, with lots of different sources of electricity.
