The other main example of negative price offers into the market is renewables which receive some types of subsidy. For example, if you have a solar farm and receive $40/MWh subsidy, you might bid into the market at any price above -$40/MWh.

Negative pricing also has an incentivising effect

If your output regularly drops to low / negative levels - invest in storage and sell when the price is higher. If it occurs grid wide - interconnect to neighbouring grids.
