Not quite correct IMO. Renewables are making a difference - and it's bad for consumers. Adding renewables forces up the cost of coal fired power - due to decreased load and efficiency.
Coal power is very cheap when used as designed - instead of ramping up and down in response to the vagaries of local weather.
The costs of operating a coal power plant are roughly 50% fuel, and 50% fixed costs (wages, plant, consumables, finance etc). The fixed costs do not go down when running at low capacity - therefore, the costs per kwh increase. Hence the strong correlation between increased renewables, and increased electricity costs.
Renewables make coal more expensive. This is how they play their shell game - asserting solar and wind are cheap. Poor people in poor countries don't have the luxury of believing their nonsense - they can't afford it.
