Context is everyting. Here's some cold hard facts for you:

As of 00:00 on 19/07/2024:

| Country | From | % | MW | |--------------| -------- |

| ---- | | Estonia | Finland | 37% | 358 | | Latvia | Estonia | 33% | 325 | | Lithuania | Sweden | 40% | 733 |

% being the overall percentage of electricity consumption.

So >1GW imported from SE/FI out of ~4GW total in the Baltics is imported from countries with 40-50% nuclear baseload.
