No, your information is false.

>A considerably strong increase of electricity imports to Germany is seen from Poland. Starting at a lower level, the Polish electricity import rose by 400 percent in 2021, compared to previous year. [1]

..and that was / is coal power.

Media critical of the nuclear exit here in Germany pointed out that the immediate solution to the disappearence of German nuclear power from the network was to increase energy imports, namely more nuclear power from France and more coal power from Poland, which made the whole move even more questionable.

Sorry, I had it wrong that Germany exported more to Poland than it imports, I had misremembered.

However, if you look here: https://energy-charts.info/charts/import_export/chart.htm?l=... you'll see that in 2023, Germany exported 3.57 TWh of power to Poland, and imported 3.05 TWh, which is not very much.

For context, Germany imported 63.7 TWh of electricity in total in 2023, so the amount coming from Poland is indeed quite small.
