Those aren't the costs of generating the energy. They receive ~£140/MWh in government subsidies, and ~£49/MWh for wholesale supply.
1) What does Big Oil's subsidies (including special tax breaks) look like?
2) Depending on where you stand on the cause of climate change, I think it could be argued that aiding renewables isn't a subsidy in the traditional sense, as much as inventment in hopes of mitigating future expenses due to climate change.
I'm in favor of subsidies for clean energy, but I'm also in favor of calling a spade a spade.
Pretty much every subsidy nowadays has some "for the public good" narrative, some more believable than others. I don't think having a better such narrative than average makes it not a "subsidy in the traditional sense".

I don't want to assume, so I have to ask: Do you understand the difference between an expense and an investment?
To clarify, it's not narrative if $X today aims to save $X x Y and Z lives tomorrow, to say nothing of the social and sociopolitical disruption. That's still a subsidy? I don't agree; at all.
