Comment on European electricity prices tumble into negative territory amid glut of green energy
bluGill@kbin.social 1 year agoIt has happened in America too from time to time. I don't think it happens often anymore as there are things they can do to throttle windmills, connect to other grids,.and otherwise predict this. Nobody wins (not even the.consumer in the long run) when this happens so contracts get written to avoid it

You build wind turbines and do not use the electricity. So it might have been smarter to just not built them. At the same time, this is an important price signal to built more storage, grid connections and add felxible demand(with proper pricing system, so people actually do it).
