Is all of their energy consumption met by domestic production?
- Kelteseth 1mo agoYes
- legulere 1mo agoNo, Germany imports massive amounts of fossil fuels. Renewables and electrification help reduce that. Electricity-wise Germany is a net exporter again
- belorn 1mo agoWhat is the cost balance from being that net exporter? Are they selling energy for more than they buy? Its funny that the term "net exporter" is about the volume of energy, not the value of energy.

A lot of factories use natural gas directly, they don't produce electricity first. ICE cars also use petrol directly, they don't first generate electricity.
