Meanwhile Germany could cut more than 13% of its fossil electricity sources if it didn't have to export electricity to "97% fossel-free" France. Overall, Germany exports 26.3% of its electricity.
So it could go straight to 84% renewables if other countries weren't dependent on its electricity.
While I agree with your point, the numbers seem wrong. The export values are in TWh. Germany produced 224 TWh in the first half of 2023. If we extrapolate to around 450 TWh for a full year and assume the 2022/2017 numbers stay the same, the values in TWh should be divided by 4.5 to get percentages. So about 3% export to france and 5% export overall.
