I posted a story that suggests renewables generally have no impact on prices in the US yesterday:

It would seem to come down to policy more than generation price when comparing across countries, but by comparing over time you see little change attributable to renewables adoption.

Portugal and Spain seem to have a iberic mechanism that honestly i don't know in detail, which prevented a sharp increase (at least as significant as european counterparts) after Ukraine war.

My guess is that renewable adoption is necessary to decrease energy prices, but is not enough, so good policy enters the chat.
