Yes - that's completely true actually.
I guess trying to price producers according to their costs of production (rather than equally according to the utility of what they produce) doesn't make sense either - why would you pay a gas supplier less than a coal supplier just because they're higher up the order?

If I'm a renewables generator I would be daft to sell my electricity for anything other than exactly what it costs from a gas provider (or 0.00000001p less).
