I don't understand how negative power prices can exist? Why wouldn't everyone just dump the power into the ground and make a profit? Surely 0 has to be a floor.
You could think of the problem in reverse: there's an excess of energy and they need to pay people to get rid of it (because using that much energy isn't as easy as dumping it in the ground).
If you could find a good way of getting rid of a lot of excess energy (worlds biggest kettle?) then you could potentially make a bit of a profit! Until someone comes along and finds something useful to do with the energy...
