Condensate is not typically burned for electrical generation. It's value is as a very low viscosity liquid so it can be blended with heavy oil to make it's transport more efficient. This also necessitates taking it to where the heavier oil is being produced.
It's also typically not composed of methane but propane+, and while there may be a correlation with renewable energy in the same areas, those regions tend to be quite a distance from the ultimate consumers. high capacity electric transportation is not environmentally neutral and underground networks in these areas would be as costly as pipelines, which is why they are almost always above ground.
