Because wind energy isn't reliable, they use it for peaking during the day.

At night, there is no need for peaking, so there is excess wind electricity.

The wind isn't stronger at night in Texas.

Nationwide, on-average, the wind is steadier at night. But the point is, that this potential energy would have a market with plug-ins. And it would most certainly improve the economics for wind energy.
