We import mostly from France, Denmark, Belgium etc, and not much of that is produced by coal either (esp in France).
All the current figures knocking about seem to relate to 2024/25, when we still used coal ourselves.

We appear to have a daytime surplus atm, the current [Octopus] Agile price is negative.
We are mostly always importing and exporting, due to where electricity is needed v generated, its not always possible to distribute it internally.
