Yes, right now we don't see this effect because the obvious thing to do is to sell it to your neighbor so they can temporarily shut down coal or gas plants. That effect will kick in when your neighbors can't do that anymore (e.g. because they also switched to the same type of intermittent power) and there won't be any easy way to cash out on additional electricity. We are not there yet.
