@kravietz Still makes sense, given how insanely cheap solar has become. And neither the old coal and especially not the old nuclear plants would be able to do the load-following to help.
That is on network capacity and gas peakers only (Same for France when its to hot for its nuclears: it then needs needs both network capacity and German gas peakers to fill the gap).
In the shared Franco-German net with enough capacity, the mix -- except for the coal and esp. lignite -- is actually decent. That might change with France moving to more renewables -- but by that time network capacity will be helped by various energy storage options including long-term #greengas.
