More than half of Germany’s electricity is renewable.
In the first three months, more than half of Germany’s electricity was made by renewable sources. Traditional energy sources made up less than half. This shows Germany is moving towards green energy.
Germany used more than 50% renewable energy for electricity in the first quarter. This was a significant change. However, fossil fuels still provided most of the electricity. This means Germany is not yet fully independent from importing energy. The initial optimism about green energy was too high. The country’s transition to green energy is taking longer than expected.
