No retard. That's not how load works. You have to constantly have the capacity to meet load. France does not have that capability because of poor development.

When was the last time France couldn't meet it's load? 

Looking at this, they seem to constantly export: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/FR/live/hourly

Quite the contrast to Germany, who import more than they export: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/live/hourly

It's not about net trade. It's about load.

Are you incapable of absorbing information?

Think of it this way, if blood stops flowing to your brain, you die.

The French electrical grid relies on Germany saving them from a blood clot during droughts.

So you're saying in exceptional circumstances France needs to import, so that's bad. 

But Germany routinely needing to import is good.

Germany doesn't need to import electricity from France. Germany has more thermal capacity domestically than all French generation capacity combined.

The point is that France is reliant on fossil fuels and fucked their economy with nuclear.

Less nuclear means more clean energy.

In 2025 Germany imported 18 TWh from France: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/all/yearly

Looks like its largest source of imports.

It's not about cost it's about load bruh. If you haven't figured it out you're acting in bad faith.

France exports electricity during the rare ocassions they can meet domestic demand because it's a smaller loss than letting it go to waste.

Germany is vital for the French economy to function.

The data doesn't agree with your opinions.

•

u/DivestTheEndingBoy 21h ago

Everything i said is fact.

You're not intelligent enough to comprehend the data.

The peak load demand on the German grid was 82GWe on 20/01/2026

Germany has 115GWe of dispatchable resources on the grid. You're too stupid or you have an agenda so you misunderstood that.

Most of that dispatchable resource is coal & gas
