Germany is making progress in its transition to renewable energy: In the first half of 2024, 61.5% of electricity was generated from renewable sources, according to the Federal Statistical Office. In the same period of the previous year, the figure was 53.3%.
This upward trend is likely to continue, especially since solar energy is expanding more rapidly thanks to accelerated approval processes. According to the Federal Network Agency, photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 7.6 gigawatts (GW) were commissioned in the first half of this year alone.
