This graph represents an annual and monthly overview of the electricity trade balance between France and its neighbours.  

• Increasing interconnections between regions has long been a priority of the European Union's energy policy. The operation of the power system at the European scale  is a reality, and it proved essential when the system was under strain during the autumn and winter 2022/2023. 
• In past years, France has mostly been a net exporter to neighbouring countries, but significant supply tension in 2022 caused the situation to reverse, with France ending the year as a net importer. 

This graph shows the balance of trade between France and its neighbors. Values are expressed as average daily power exchanged at the border:

- a positive value indicates a net export balance for the day and the concerned border,

- a negative value indicates a net import balance for the day and for the concerned border.

The graph represents the monthly net values of the power trade balance between France and its neighbours.

• It allows a comparison between the monthly values of different year
• A positive value indicates that France has been a net exporter on the month and a negative values indicates that France has been a net importer.
