While yes, Germany profits from the European grid to offset some of its over or under production, it doesn't really affect Germany's or France's nuclear energy production.

As you can see even at time when wind provides more than half of Germany's total energy production, the red nuclear bar remains nearly unchanged.

If you check France's energy production at the same time nuclear energy production isn't affected.

It does affect oil, gas and coal, but hardly affects nuclear.



My understanding is that nuclear doesn’t do variability very well
