At 32.7 percent, net electricity generation from onshore wind is clearly ahead of generation from lignite (13.7 percent, rank 2).

Together with the share from offshore wind (6.6 percent, rank 7), wind energy (onshore and offshore, 39.3 percent) even exceeds the total share from conventional energy generation (lignite and hard coal, gas, nuclear energy, 37 percent in total).

In the first three months of 2022, the share of renewable energies averaged 50.7 percent, and in March 2022 it was 43 percent.

By 2030, the German government plans to draw 80 percent of its energy supply from renewables, while at the same time significantly increasing electricity demand. In 2022, electricity consumption was around 485 TWh. In 2030, it is expected to be over 780 TWh.

So there is still much to be done in terms of the energy transition.
