Germany’s energy revolution is in full swing. In 2024, renewable sources powered an impressive 62.7% of the country’s electricity grid—up from just 17% in 2010. This sharp climb wasn’t just about wind turbines and solar farms—it was powered by households, too.
Over 435,000 new balcony solar units were installed last year alone, making energy generation more decentralized and citizen-led than ever before. Meanwhile, wind power produced 136.4 TWh, outpacing entire national grids like Norway’s, and solar energy delivered 72.2 TWh, more than Argentina’s annual electricity use.
Even more historic: 2024 was Germany’s first full year without nuclear power since 1962—and reliance on coal continues to shrink. CO₂ emissions dropped 3.4% year-over-year.
With a goal of hitting 80% renewable electricity by 2030, Germany is turning policy into impact—and setting the pace for Europe’s clean energy future.
