And again some wrong claims, there is 3 nuclear power plants over 19 that uses the water of rivers to cool down, in the summer there is temperature limits on the outputted water (25°c) for the aquatic life on the rivers. It is a variation of a few GW on about 60GW, that are blip on the daily consumption, and do not impact the grid.

France is a net exporter to Germany since at least 2011 : https://www.energy-charts.de/exchange.htm?source=de_pf&year=2011 https://www.energy-charts.de/exchange.htm?source=de_pf&year=...
France as Germany are the 2 world top exporter : http://www.worldstopexports.com/electricity-exports-country/ http://www.worldstopexports.com/electricity-exports-country/
You can see here in last july and august that france mostly export to germany : https://i.imgur.com/99f8stA.png https://i.imgur.com/99f8stA.png

- _ph_ 7y agoForgive me, when I wrote "lack of cooling water", while there might be water, but you cannot use it for cooling because of the temperatures of the river. But the consequence is the same. Yes, France exports power, but not TO Germany. It exports ACROSS Germany to other countries. The power gets there using the German grid, but not consume in Germany. The French power isn't needed in the German grid - the only time French power is used in the German grid might be short times when there is surplus production which needs to be absorbed in Europe.
