New statistics from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photo voltaic Power Techniques (Fraunhofer ISE) present that PV techniques in Germany generated round 59.9 TWh of solar energy in 2023, with 6.4 TWh used for residence consumption.

Renewables accounted for a document share of 59.7% of public web electrical energy era in Germany in 2023, in keeping with new figures from Fraunhofer ISE.

The analysis institute recorded new highs for wind energy and photo voltaic. Onshore and offshore wind had been crucial supply of public electrical energy era at 139.8 TWh, or 32% of the full. Wind farm era was 14.1% greater than in 2022.

In June alone, PV techniques in Germany generated round 9 TWh of electrical energy – a brand new month-to-month document.

Hydropower additionally elevated,  butwith hardly any change in output. It contributed 20.5 TWH to public electrical energy era, or 3 TWh greater than in 2022. Biomass remained regular at 42.3 TWh.

In complete, renewables generated round 260 TWh, up 7% in contrast from 2022.

Put in battery capability nearly doubled from 4.4 GW in 2022 to 7.6 GW final yr. Storage capability elevated from 6.5 GWh to 11.2 GWh. Output of German pumped storage vegetation reached 6 GW.
