Something funny is about to happen to some prices
Yeah, I was surprised by the OP’s assertion that energy prices never go negative. I think spot prices have been negative in eg Texas on windy (and maybe also sunny) days.

They have gone negative briefly in Germany, as well. Both still rare occurrences at this point, though.

Briefly? It's very common. Even UK _retail_ energy prices go negative a fair bit.

Due to issues with transferring energy, German producers will often pay Netherlands ones to shutdown their windfarms and export electricity there.
