I assume you have the same type of energy taxes in Denmark as we have in Sweden and that as such "negative electricity prices" only apply to the wholesale market (Nord Pool [1])? In that case you still pay:
1: market surcharge (påslag)
2: energy tax (energiskatt)
3: renewable energy surcharge (certifikatavgift)
4: transmission charge (överföringsavgift)
5: VAT on the previous (moms, 25% in Sweden)
Here in Sweden this means that "free" electricity costs around ((6 + 39 + 1 + 31) * 1.25 = ) ~ 0.85 kr (Swedish crowns or 'kronor') per kWh.
Negative electricity prices do affect those who have solar panels since - depending on the contract - it can actually cost money to push more energy into the network. In our case we'd pay when the price goes below ca. -0.35 kr/kWh which has not happened - yet.
