I’m paying 60x more for power in Toten, Norway because Germany is importing so much electricity from us. It’s a huge annoyance. We never should have allowed connection outside of the peninsula to you moron Germans.
If anyone, you would be the moron. If Norvegian electricity is more expensive because of Germany, then because Norway is selling it at that higher price. If Norway wouldn't sell it, there would be no money flowing from Germany to Norway. Where the money goes? Well ask your fellow Norvegians and don't blame your countries customers.
P.S.: if anyone, France is guilty of the current high electricity price in Europe. They are failing behind producing enough electricity for local consumption and consequently drive the sport market price up.
Can you do anything but make stupid comments without content?
Yes, Germany is a net exporter, but Germany is part of the European grid. There is a joint market, where electricity is balanced across Europe every minute. The same country which is a net exporter can import in some parts of the day. France is a good example, because they mostly use rather slow nuclear power plants. But as they are part of the European grid, they rather vary between export and import than trying to adjust their power output to their current domestic usage. At minimum that makes electricity cheaper as the plants are run closer to the optimum power point.
Peak consumption occurs after sunset across Europe, when German photovoltaics generate zero electricity. So what do the Germans do to keep up with the demand? They spin up their extremely polluting coal plants, or buy electricity from their neighbours, forcing them to spin up their peaking plants.
>The same country which is a net exporter can import in some parts of the day.
Yeah, except the time when they want to import is precisely the time when everyone else is experiencing peak demand. Now tell me, what happens in a market when demand increases across the board? The price point moves higher along the demand curve, bravo!
