Yea I've also heard of negative priced or free electricity in Texas that people use to mine bitcoin for example. There definitely is a minimum load that a natural gas turbine plant or any other thermal plant can run at since the turbine needs to be spinning fast enough with enough throughput to produce power at any reasonable efficiency. Base load plants are supposed to take up this capacity but it must be possible for the electrical energy demand to fall below what the base load plants produce.
