Nuclear produces constant amount of energy (while consumption is not stable), Solar and Wind are highly unstable, with peaks not matching consumption. Adding gas (which is fast to adjust/turn on/turn off) for maneuvers makes whole system cheaper and more stable

Except, most regions don't need constant supply, it's actually even harmful for the grid. German grid for example seems to have become significant better since the last nuclear plants were removed.

What ? They just dumped a lot of money into grid safety after the nuclear exit . Your comment doesn't make any sense.

Because of the nuclear exit they had to build Grid stabilization plants e.g in Marbach.
