Is a negative price the new normal?

For the first time, the price of electricity in the day-ahead market in Finland and Sweden turned negative for a few hours in February 2020 and again in July. On the road towards a climate-neutral power system, it is likely that electricity prices will turn negative again for a few occasional hours.

The transmission system is designed with the objective of maintaining a large transfer capacity so it is not necessary to limit power transmission. This ensures that there is a single price area in Finland.
