(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By Alimat Aliyeva
In Germany, a new record has been set for the production of
electricity from renewable energy sources (RES) – wind, sunlight
and biomass, with record figures being achieved for the second time
in half a year, Azernews reports.
This is stated in the article "Germany: 58% of electricity is
produced from renewable sources", published by the German edition
Deutsche Welle (DW).
In the first half of this year, the share of electricity
production from renewable energy sources amounted to 58 percent,
the publication reports, citing estimates by the Center for Solar
Energy and Hydrogen Research of the Federal state of
Baden-Wuerttemberg (ZSW) and the Federal Association of Energy and
Water Supply Enterprises (BDEW), published on July 1 by the dpa
agency.
In the first half of 2023, this figure was 52 percent. The total
volume of electricity consumption in the country amounted to 261
billion kWh, which is 0.3 percent less year-on-year.
Electricity generated from renewable energy sources in the first
six months of 2024 covered more than half of the country's monthly
needs, BDEW noted. Of the 58 percent of electricity produced from
renewable energy sources, 24 percent was generated from wind
energy, 14 percent from photovoltaic systems, nine percent from
biomass, five from offshore wind energy and one percent from
household waste.
