ELI5/ Why is the cost of electricity constantly increasing despite the increasing amount of renewable and green energy?

I understand there is installation, maintenance and servicing costs, but shouldn’t the free power from the sun, wind and tidal eventually pay this off and start providing free power?

Your bill goes part way to cover the cost of the infrastructure. Ie pylons from the power stations to your house via substations. These need constant maintenance and repairs, plus these are expanding as more demand will be placed in urban areas as more EVs are bought and put on charge.
