As others have pointed out, the power grid does not even have the capability to "burn off" excess power. It is simply nerver produced in the first place.
Edit: Ok I read the note at the bottom and the graph literally adjusts the rejected energy of renewables to match thermal power plants. Assuming 33% efficiency that means 12.56 phantom units of energy that never even existed in the first place are being rejected.
"For a coal fired power station, for instance, about 2/3 of the energy released when the coal is burnt is discarded as heat in the environment. This reject energy sometimes appears as clouds of vapour coming off a power-station’s cooling towers, such as the well-known ones at Didcot in England."
