The is eases balancing production (which may originate from anywhere) with consumption. Here Germany often acts as a provider for Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland (which also may provide it to other needing nations). Germany export surplus (physical flows) is positive for years, albeit it decreased (from 34 to 18 TWh in 2020).
