At the moment, about half of France’s nuclear power plants are offline - partially due to lack of cooling water (which should resolve itself as the summer ends), partially due to maintenance issues. Germany had been exporting energy to france. You’ll have to wait a long time until France makes up for the closed German power plants.

- Nodraak 4y agoPlease look at yearly averages to avoid cherry picking. Maintenance is planned every autumn to make sure that all the nuclear plants work when they are needed, ie. during winter.
