Are you sure? http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ shows electricity
being imported from France The Netherlands and Ireland.

Yes. He is right. During mid winter we were running all available coal
plant flat out in early Feb and exporting electricity to Europe. We were
briefly borderline for one cold snap but it didn't last.

I've watched gridwatch right through the winter. It has always shown
energy being imported from France and The Netherlands. How does
exported British electricity get to Germany?

Via the 1,000-MW BritNed interconnector (exports generated power from UK
to Netherlands where it connects to Germany).
