the last time coal usage was even close to being this low was during the early months of the pandemic when electrical load plummeted.
Yes, yes, we have also found out that it’s summer.
Oh please explain to me why the electric bill is so damn high?
We don’t need to burn coal anymore because we are burning
Get ready for the big crash and blackouts you all
If they kept nuclear power on the grid, the records of low coal use would have been much higher.
Still insufficient tho. Imports helped a bit but it’s the worse Western European grid except for Ireland (wtf Ireland!?) and on par with Italy.
Ironically, in June they reached the milestone of finally lowering coal usage enough to match their former nuclear output. They could’ve get rid of all their coal power plant (at least for that month) had they kept NPP open.
The fact that the biggest economy in Europe is still extracting coal in open pit quarries and still to this day trying to sabotage the progress of nuclear energy is retarded. Fuck the (German) Green party. All because some nuclear waste had to pass through on a train.
If only they didn’t shut the nuclear power plants off the coal would be a lot lower.

Great, so electricity prices will finally come crashing down since we’re no longer dependent on foreign energy imports. Right??
And yet, you still emit 9 times more CO₂eq/kWh compared to France TODAY (july 2025). NINE freaking times more CO² per kwh, how can you accept this shit, you have to stop all coal explotation, not today, but 20 years ago, freaks.
That’s nice. But wake me up when their electricity mix is less carbonated than the French one. Because they’re still far from getting there
It’s summer
Doesn’t Germany burn the worst type of coal as well? Or has that been phased out?
Edit: yeah they do, lignite
great, now do energy prices and compare them to the US and China, Germany’s main economic competitors
This is amazing progress, and exactly what Germany pushed for in the 2000s all the way until 2020. Renewables are the future, and even though the goal hasn’t been reached yet, the advances are extremely promising.
It really is amazing the amount of misinformation and negative propaganda being thrown around when it comes to German energy. Some i can attribute to ignorance spread by AfD, some probably from russian bots, but some shit i read here really makes me wonder if they live in the same Germany I do.
Feels like some of you really think wind turbines are “Windmühlen der Schande”, and if so I feel very sorry for you.
Totally misleading chart, Germany still has some of the dirtiest (CO2/KwH) electricity in Europe.

So it means that a lot of people can use AC without any issue ?
LMAO let’s revisit this in winter.
Damn, that’s a lot of downvotes. Didn’t know Germans were saltier than the french when they are wrong.
And yet Merz and Reiche are putting a levy on offshore wind and trying to destroy hydrogen.
According to [this IEA data](https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/global-coal-consumption-2000-2026), the EU halved coal usage from 2012 to 2024.
It also extends a projection that world coal usage should increase by less than 1.2% from 2024-2027, reaching 8900 Mt by 2027.
I’m curious how world coal usage obeyed the IEA’s model in 2024. We’ve seemingly no reputable data so far, but [Koch’s IER](https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/fossil-fuels/coal/global-coal-use-hits-another-historic-record-in-2024/) thinks coal already grew by a full 1% in 2024, and already passed 9000 Mt.
It’s possible Koch’s IER maybe doing market manipulation with their article, but overall that’s kiinda a large gap between IEA projections and IER “data”.
That’s amazing. I was told by all others articles that Germany coal burning would increase dramatically because of the nuclear shut down? And while I still disapprove of this shut down, it’s nice to see that they actually managed to transition to renewable anyway!
