A net import of 250,000 MWh in the past month. That's not even 1% of Germany's electricity production. Germany produced 4x as much electricity from photovoltaics even though the sun wasn't shining.

They just turned 2FA on for all accounts and that was the moment I found out that mine was pointing to the wrong email address. I wish they would allow you to sign something with your private SSH key to get an inactive account back.
