Negative prices mean electricity produces pay consumers. Nuclear power plants are producers and batteries consumers. The nuclear operator would not own the batteries but pay them through market clearing.

Sure if energy production is already low carbon but this thread was about reducing the use of fossil fuels. If there’s significant amount of fossil fuels left to replace, nuclear power is an option.

You have a system where other operators should take care of this.
The problem is that we are not reacting fast enough while batteries are cheap and our relationship with China is still okey.
Both of those assumptions may not last and that is a big risk for our energy systems.
What did I say to make you think that?
My point is that it is not sustainable to build more nuclear, solar and wind in many markets, unless we get much more aggressive with batteries.
