Didn't know where to post this. Just west and a bit north of Hays Ks is a windfarm. Today All of the wind powered generators were completely stopped. Had never seen that before. Anyone know why? There was plenty of wind.

I can't say for certain but some experience in the electric grid space gives me some of the following reasons:

The circuit they are connected to was faulted

They were transferred to a supply that they are not approved to generate on

If they are a large facility then they might have had a failed communication channel that is used to disconnect them if there's an issue.

This isn't an exhaustive list but just some common ones
