Renewable energy sources supplied more than 58% of Germany’s electricity consumption in 2025, according to new data published by the Federal Network Agency.
Total electricity generation reached 437.6 terawatt-hours (TWh) during the year, of which 257.5 TWh came from renewable sources, the agency said. Wind power accounted for the largest share, with onshore wind producing 106.5 TWh and offshore wind contributing a further 26.1 TWh.
Solar power generation increased to 74.1 TWh, supported by strong summer sunshine and additional installed capacity, while biomass plants generated around 36 TWh, the data showed.
By contrast, electricity generation from conventional sources declined to 180.1 TWh in 2025, reflecting Germany’s continued shift away from fossil fuels.
Average wholesale electricity prices on the day-ahead market rose to €89.32 per megawatt-hour, the agency said. Negative power prices were recorded for 573 hours over the year, typically during periods of high renewable output and lower demand.
Germany imported 76.2 TWh of electricity and exported 54.3 TWh, resulting in net imports of 21.9 TWh, according to the regulator.
“The figures show that renewable energy continues to play a central role in Germany’s power supply,” the Federal Network Agency said, pointing to wind and solar as the main drivers of generation growth.
