> The UK doesn't have enough renewable energy and storage yet.

As with everything else, the marginal cost of additional renewable energy and storage will rise. At some point, all the low-hanging fruit is picked; there are only so many locations suitable for wind farms and pumped hydro. It's fallacious to think that the £0.15/kWh price will hold as it gets scaled up to meet more of the demand.
