Why incompetent?

Having a lot of solar is good.

We can export it to neighbors and it motivates other actors in the market to invest in getting this cheap sun energy which creates more pressure on dirty energy.

That we don't life in a planed market is obvious otherwise all those things would not be necessary but we don't life in a perfect market

Exactly. I imagine that green energy production (hydrogen, ammonia) can be made flexible so that it consumes the cheap/free energy, whether from solar or wind, and greatly stabilises the prices. But to get there we first have to have that cheap energy available, nobody will build the plants with just some vague promises.

So what will happen when you get rid of "dirty sources"? It all looks good on a paper, but when your clean solar energy is not available, like during winter time, and you got rid of your dirty sources, what are you going to do?

How is energy company going to pay for grid maintenance, wages and general passives, when energy price is negative? This all looks like 1 step before bankruptcy of energy companies.

You just turn them on.

Keeping a coal or gas plant on standby is not that expensive and you still saved a ton of fuel.
