Similar problem in Germany, also mostly on a north/south axis.

A mitigating factor is PV+storage coming online mostly in the south and balancing this out somewhat.

According to grid operators, total projected grid expansion costs of ~$250 billion until 2045, but the majority is required sooner rather than later (~$200 billion within the next decade).
