Germany is very weird in a certain way of total belief in power of free market.

So you see, the market was supposed to correct that.

But profit laid with cheap gas turbines to backstop wind and buying from france ;)

It's not a real free market, though, if you ignore transmission. Since transmission is a scarce resource it needs to be part of the market to send the signal to build more of it (or more battery storage, or better located production). The national auctions obscure the actual resource shortage and therefore the market can't work.

sshhhh, you're breaking the perfect invisible hand of market Germany wants to dogmatically push in EU grid

The mandatory EDI platform to interact on German market is also a bit annoying, though it's in details theory is theoretically /s solid
