If so they must have very low domestic electricity prices (according to many people who continue to claim renewables = lower prices!)

That’s because the price is set by the highest marginal producer

Most of the UKs recent renewables are on a fixed price supply basis and when the market prices goes over this the excess is eventually fed back into reducing consumer bills
