Analysis of the Negative Spot-Prices on 24.03.2013
Source: Johannes Mayer, Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems; Data: EEX
Actual production from wind and solar was higher than projected, the total load was lower than projected the day before. The result was an oversupply with electricity of up to 15 GW.

Conclusion
The EEG was very succesfull in kick-starting renewable energies
Costs for PV and wind systems reduced significantly
Negative Prices show upcoming system conflict
More flexibility in the power system is necessary
Development of a new electricity market design
