Electricity prices in Finland flipped negative -- a huge oversupply of clean, hydroelectric power meant suppliers were almost giving it away

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The country, which aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2035, has also been pushing hard to introduce renewable energy solutions -- Finland wants wind to be its primary power source by 2027, Ruusunen told The National.
48% : The price drop was driven by an unexpected glut of renewable energy, coupled with Finns themselves using less energy in the wake of the crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
45% : Because hydropower cannot be slowed down or turned off, other producers like nuclear are looking to dial back their production to avoid losing money on energy production.
