The main reason why Germany increased coal usage last year was because they exported it to France. Because their (french) nuclear plants were in maintainace or lacking cooling water.
And why is everyone always looking at the momental situation? Look at yearly tendencies if you want to see what happens.
Edit: since people are down voting, here is a fun fact for you.
Power generated from nuclear:
France 2016=415TWh; 2023(ongoing)=312TWh
Germany 2016=80TWh;
So optimistically for France -95TWh/a, Germany -80.
