Electricity is currently free in mainland Denmark.

Northern Germany checking in... I currently earn 9.7 cents per kWh that I consume.

I am actually unsure if, due to how we pay for electricity, if it can be negative...

I'm on one of those contracts that essentially just gives me the rate that's currently being paid on the market. I'm now back up at 20 cents per kWh, but tomorrow noon it'll drop to -37 cents.

So am I, but there are fees between the consumer and the market price regardless. I think the price of electricity would have to be very far into the negatives for it to become truly free for danes.

Same here. We pay about 11 cents per kWh in fees. The market price drops to less than negative 49 cents tomorrow due to solar power overproduction.
