Large-scale Negative, zero or below-cost renewables only happen if someone else foots the bill. And that usually means tax-payer funded subsidies. I mean sure, there will be some hours during exceptionally sunny/windy days when price is less than the production cost, but don't bet your business on it.
What does work is building the plant in a wind/solar abudant location and co-siting with large, behind-the-meter wind/solar plant. Not only do you get electricity at cost, but you cut the grid costs and taxes away too.
