A good example of that is Germany.
They removed Nuclear from their energy sources and now need to use coal instead to compensate.
But it gets better than that.
Denmark focused primarily on wind energy with the consequence that this summers heatwave resulted in them having to get their energy from Germany who now without Nuclear had to use even more coal.

Looks to me that wind/solar is compensating for the gradual decline in nuclear, and also for the bulk of increasing demand [2].
