Might be, but in total Germany is a net exporter of electricity.

1. That's not the point, the point being to illustrate how interconnected the EU grid is.

2. Regarding your comment, I personally don't see Germany importing 72 gCO2/MW power to export 399 gCO2/MW power as a good thing for anyone but coal companies, but whatever floats your boat.

"the point being to illustrate how interconnected the EU grid is."

Which is a good thing. Very few countries are self sufficient regarding cars for example, or Kiwis. So humanity invented trading and people trade things they don't have for things they have - so good interconnection is a good thing.

> Which is a good thing

Absolutely.

That’s irrelevant since Germany is often exporting electricity at cheap or even negative prices.

The net value also doesn’t buy you anything if you have to import electricity due to lack of local production.

France can self-supply itself with electricity.

[KingOfCoders]

But it can't self supply with Kiwis. Whereas Isreal is self suffient on Kiwis but not on cars.
