In the US, some wind producers use 'negative' pricing to push their power onto the grid. They receive subsidies from the US government, but it also costs the big utilities, who must reduce generation to accommodate the excess capacity.
Meanwhile, the German Supreme Administrative Court has ruled that the forced closure of RWE's Biblis nuclear power plant after the Fukushima accident was unlawful! This action may pave the way to restart the nuclear plants in Germany.
