The Economist January 25, 2025, pp. 47 ff summarizes how through the use of oceanic cables it is able to share electricity--tapping others' power grids: giving from it in periods of overflow; taking from its neighbors when in under capacity.
As the magazine cites, there are several such interlocking cable-linked networks: the EU with England included power share with 6 EU countries; in Africa between Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia; Bangladesh through India to tap Nepal's grid; and sharing among Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Laos.
Other cable linkages are postulated by the magazine's editors: India and Pakistan; Japan and South Korea; the grids in US with Mexico. Investors are encouraged, despite fears of some country to reduce a resource it has reason to hold onto.
