Couldn’t post a second photo with the breakdown by source, but in May 2025, coal usage was down to 15.3% of grid electricity. The previous record low was 15.8% in April 2020 (i.e. when everything was shut down at the start of the pandemic, so electricity load was very low).
Swear to god it’s only been like 7 years that conservatives said, more than 3% renewables couldn’t be done.
Now they want back to go back to Russian gas. It’s like they are paid to be wrong. Which might even be the case.
Keep it up Germany!
Proof that sustainability isn’t a far-off dream, but a reality we can achieve. Kudos, Germany!
Future’s looking a whole lot greener now, isn’t it?
Good. We still have a lot to go, every European country and at the same time we need the grid to be resilient, especially because of how interconnected it is. Efficiency is not everything, sometimes redundancy is key too.
Given that we spent hundreds of billions of subsidies on renewable energies, anything but a record high would be very concerning.
What I find incredibly bitter: Despite such a high share, we still emitted almost double as much as Spain per kwh (despite them having a lower share of renewables).
Great, now make it cheaper. At least comparable to the rest of the world.
Congratulations. Now show the energy price and import volume from France 🙂
As far as I know they are still destroying the village of Lützerath to expand a lignite (yes lignite!) mine so let’s not get too excited.
How does Germany handle the network stability. A month ago Spain and Portugal lost the power grid stability for instance.
How much Russian gas were they still using?
Good work, Germany!
It sounds good but Germany isn’t self sufficient. There are times when it imports over 20% of consumed electricity.
Meanwhile, the UK has completely ceased burning coal and France uses at least 75% renewables on a bad day.
Better late than never, I suppose.
Thanks, Green party!
