One thing I couldn't find in the vizzes is that Europe shares its energy grid for a large part. This means that a large portion of energy consumed in say Germany might well be produced by a nuclear plant in France. It's harder to reflect these flows and get data for it, but I assume it changes the picture.

The cross-border flows are relatively small compared to domestic production.
