In 2024, Europe recorded an unprecedented number of negative hourly electricity prices. As renewable energy deployment accelerates, this trend will continue to increase, along with the significance of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in building new clean energy capacity. What are negative electricity prices?
Electricity has a different price every hour of the day — what we call the spot price. When production surpasses consumption, instead of charging consumers for power, electricity generators must pay the grid operator to deliver their electricity or otherwise halt production. Negative prices are closely linked to renewable energy generation.
These numbers underscore a clear trend: as renewable energy—especially wind and solar—continues to proliferate, the surplus generation during low-demand periods pushes prices into negative territory more frequently. At the core of negative pricing is the fundamental principle of maintaining real-time balance between electricity supply and demand.
Negative prices are closely linked to renewable energy generation. On particularly windy or sunny days, clean power plants may generate more energy than average, which — lacking sufficient storage capacity — must be dispatched to the grid. This surge in production can sink prices below zero.
