Electricity prices in France turn negative as renewable energy floods the grid

Sounds like the same situation as reported in Germany is the earlier posted link. This one is paywalled so can't see the details.

If only that was the case here! Might happen someday when enough homes get solar installed.

Grid oversupply is also an issue in Australia due to their >30% of houses having solar operating. They're looking at storage systems, both domestic and utility scale, to derive better use of all that generation.

The French and German cases are likely solvable with more storage to buffer supply demand mismatches. Growing pains as countries increasingly move toward widespread adoption of renewable power generation.

And going back to my OP this interview on Kathryn Ryan's Radio NZ show today makes for interesting listening.
