Not transmission loss, the wind farms aren't able to inject power into the grid at peak output and are dumping the power on generation. They are unhappy because they don't get paid for the dumped power.
As it is, most state electricity companies are operating at a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars, since electricity subsidies are hidden under their P&L to keep the government's budget deficit from looking too scary. Consequently the contract defaults in this sector are terribly common.
