It will eventually take over everywhere because unlike every other form of energy each year it gets better and cheaper.
Yes wind will have a place but like solar, wind on its own also needs storage but is not falling in cost at anything like the same pace.
Happily storage is not a problem. Like PV the storage tech is getting better and cheaper each year at a similar if not faster rate.
Large scale storage is already reshaping grids. Even those that run on conventional energy.
This article by that bastion of conservative thinking “The Economist” did a big spread on this topic at the last Summer solstice.
