But of course with a guaranteed and indexed linked strike price, it will be running at full pelt for its entire lifespan, regardless of how much cheaper solar and wind is available at any given time.

Solar and some types of wind turbine (my understanding is that Doubly fed induction generators can) don't contribute to these factors at all.
