Germany 2023 renewable energy installed statistics released--Seetao

On January 5, the German Federal Network Administration (BNetzA) published preliminary data on the growth of installed renewable energy capacity in Germany in 2023. In 2023, Germany added 17GW of renewable energy capacity, bringing the total installed capacity to nearly 170GW, an increase of 12% year-on-year. Most of Germany's renewable energy growth comes from solar and wind power. Klaus Muller, head of BNetzA, said that the almost doubling of solar power generation compared to 2022 is rapidly driving Germany's energy transition. In 2023, renewable energy generation in Germany exceeded 50% for the first time, but German onshore wind power still did not meet the expected target in 2023. However, there is a significant increase in the number of permits in 2023. According to the German solar industry association BSW, more than 1 million new solar power systems were installed in Germany last year. However, wind power is still the main source of electricity in Germany. Overall, renewables accounted for more than half of electricity consumption for the first time. Wind power in Germany saw a significant increase in 2023. According to earlier reports, Germany added 50 percent more wind power capacity in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The share of wind power in total electricity generation is also increasing, with more than a quarter (27%) of Germany's electricity coming from wind power for the first time in the first three quarters of 2023.
