Wind turbines have a normal capacity and a maximum output. They weren't running at 50% of maximum output they were running at 50% of normal capacity.

When wind turbines run at maximum capacity prices often go negative or turbines get switched off.

I don't think politifact is the one being misleading here.

I think you have your terms mixed up. Capacity refers to the maximum output. "Normal capacity" isn't a thing. You could say "normal output" or "expected output".
