Denmark's electricity is almost three times more expensive than in France. Solar+wind does not cancel out variability. Backup is needed. LCOE does not mean lower prices. Higher shares of renewables drives up costs for the network to rebalance. Producing a lot of energy when it is not needed means producing low value energy. It really depends on the electricity mix.
