Power prices turned negative during several 15-minute periods yesterday, dropping as low as minus 50 euros ($57) a megawatt-hour, according to data from Epex Spot.

You get such negative prices because of government distortion of the market. The solar and wind producers get feed-in tariffs that allow them to make a marginal profit from selling electricity even at negative prices.
