[Neue Zürcher Zeitung] According to calculations by the ministry [of economics], German electricity traders were still able to generate export revenues of €1.9 billion from the beginning of the year to April 15, 2023. In the same period, this sum was offset by expenditure on electricity imports amounting to €1.3 billion. After that, the picture changed to an import surplus: By August 31, export revenues were 0.42 billion euros, while import expenditures were 2.64 billion euros. That's according to the ministry's response to a parliamentary question from the AfD parliamentary group.

If one balances all electricity exchanges of Germany with its neighbors, it can be stated for 2023 "that with the change from winter to summer, Germany went from being a net exporter to a net importer," the ministry writes. The German government puts the trade surplus in favor of foreign countries for the second quarter at a total of 2.5 terawatt hours. In the three months before, German electricity traders were still able to realize an export surplus of 4.7 terawatt hours.

-----------

What also happened in April beside the change form winter to summer was the switching-off of the last three nuclear powerplants which in 2022 had a annual energy production of 4.4 terawatt hours.

Habeck the Destroyer still claims that the switching off had no effect on the German energy balance and that Germany could easily handle it.

At a cost, of course.

That he forgot to mention, of course.

Which is a pattern in this man's political acting. His politics is full of costly details, which he never forgets not to mention.

He should be thrown in jail. And the rest of this cabinet of horrors, too.
