If you look at the electricity map at various times of day or over a week, you'll see the import arrows flip direction depending on the weather and time of day.

The UK exports wind power at night, but imports power during the day. Scandinavia often exports hydro power.

Taxes on carbon emissions mean Poland will import green power if it's available, as it will be cheaper than burning their own coal.
