That's because everything is often flogged to the free market. Even if your country produced a lot of energy it won't offset local costs.

e.g. UK electricity costs are due to go up to £0.5 / kwh in April despite the fact half our energy is now produced by renewables and should be dirt cheap.

I've seen that renewables number anywhere between 10 and 50% depending on the prevailing conditions. This December there was no wind blowing at all and it stayed at about 8% for nearly a month.
