Nearly two thirds of all electricity fed into Germany\u2019s public grid between July and September 2025 came from renewable power sources, the country\u2019s statistical office\u00a0Destatis<\/a>\u00a0said<\/a>, based on preliminary data. <\/p>\n

With 98.3 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), wind turbines, solar panels and other renewables contributed 64.1 percent to the electricity mix, up from 63.5 percent in the same period last year. Total renewable power production rose three percent compared to the third quarter of 2024, while total electricity production increased by two percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A robust expansion of renewable power sources led to record output levels for a third quarter: Wind power production increased by more than ten percent compared to the third quarter of 2024, reaching a share of over one quarter (26.8%) of the\u00a0power mix<\/a>, while solar\u00a0PV<\/a>\u00a0output rose 3.2 percent to a share of 24.1 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Power production with natural gas increased by more than 8 percent, whereas coal-fired power production decreased by 2.2 percent. The share of coal in the domestic\u00a0power mix<\/a>\u00a0reached 20.6 percent, while natural gas contributed 12 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The amount of electricity imported to Germany decreased in Q3 to 20.7 billion kWh, almost 12 percent less than one year before. Power exports, meanwhile, increased by almost six percent to 12.5 billion kWh, meaning the import surplus shrank by more than 30 percent compared to 2024.<\/p>\n

Wind and solar power are set to\u00a0become the backbone<\/a>\u00a0of the electricity system in Germany. Together with other renewables, they already provide more than half of Germany\u2019s electricity every year, and\u00a0their\u00a0<\/a>rollout<\/a>\u00a0has meant that Germany is\u00a0broadly on track<\/a>\u00a0to reach its 2030 goal of cutting emissions by 65 percent compared to 1990 levels.<\/p>\n

Germany\u00a0aims to source 80 percent of total electricity consumption from renewables by 2030<\/a>. The data by\u00a0Destatis<\/a>, however, does not include all electricity production. <\/p>\n

Electricity generated in industrial power stations and consumed directly by industrial companies \u2013 often fossil-fuel-based \u2013 or electricity generated by photovoltaic systems in private households and consumed in those households are not included, for example. <\/p>\n

In 2024, renewables\u00a0supplied 55 percent<\/a>\u00a0of total electricity consumption. Preliminary data for 2025 is set to be published this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
