Gas and wind are both 34%, we are buying 1.4gw from Norway but selling 0.4 to the Netherlands, 0.7 to Ireland, 0.7 to Denmark and 0.1 to Belgium during a savings session....
Edit: France is at 0.6 which is basically off for that interconnect. Normally we would be buying at 4gw

Yeah as I said above demand was high in Europe due to the heat so instead of importing we were exporting, good its how its supposed to work
The French were having ( may still be) a lot of issues with their nuclear and heat of the local rivers so they were turning them down.
Oh that ultra reliable base that people like to quote with nuclear

Last year they had issues with the sea water warming and attracting lots of jelly fish which then block the intakes of their coastal nukes. At least one nuke had to be taken offline to sort that out
