Cheaper for the energy companies to produce/collect… that doesn’t mean they’ll charge consumers less for it.

Certainly, if you on an ‘agile’ tariff in the UK it can be a lot cheaper. There were times a few month ago when it was particularly windy - they were paying me to use electricity/charge my solar batteries from the grid.

See, this is probably one of the greatest benefits of power sources like wind and solar: the ability for individuals to produce their own electricity without the need to invest in hundreds of millions (or billions) in energy production facilities and infrastructure.
