Because they have decided it must be "green", and shut down much of the existing infrastructure long before the replacement is even built or invented.
Off shore wind turbines are far away from wherever the old coal, gas oil or nuclear power plant used to be. This means new transmission lines need to be built.
They push hard for EVs, were each charger uses as much power as 100 households. This also requires much more transmission capacity, including to rural areas in order to build charging stations there.
And during all of this, the national grids uses AC power which needs to be perfectly synchronized at all time, production must always match demand. Which is basically impossible to achieve with wind and solar were gigawatts of energy can come and go in a matter of seconds.
