I'm still wondering what you might have meant by this.

If you produce 40% over current usage you have to get rid of that 40% immediately. For a small country with no appreciable amount of pump storage they could quickly spin up this must mean mostly by export. Otherwise the frequency rises sharply above the 50 Hz such that substations start dropping like flies.

In other words it seems obvious to me that the grid needs it.
