This is also not factored into France utilizing ~10 GW of neighboring flexible fossil fueled flexibility to not have to turn down their nuclear reactors as much during the night.
The French grid would be even more uneconomical without the interconnections.

- pyrale 2y ago> to not have to turn down their nuclear reactors They are reducing production almost daily these days, but usually around 12-14h, due to solar production.
- bonzini 2y agoI wonder if that wouldn't be served better by storing the excess solar production into a flow battery, or similar storage dimensioned to serve a city.
