Should a wind project owner enter into a good faith sales contract for it's output by power purchase agreement with another entity and also be able to set a negative price into the wholesale real-time market ?  Isn't the power purchaser compelled to pay the wind project owner by terms of the PPA and also pay the market in this circumstance ?

Thanks to Jim Wiegand I was reminded to comment.
