Source: Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de, licence CC BY 4.0. Realised net generation by energy source and grid load (electricity consumption) for Germany; residual load = grid load minus wind and solar. Day-ahead price: average of the bidding zone Germany/Luxembourg as aggregated by SMARD (from October 1, 2018). Renewable share = wind, solar, biomass, hydropower and other renewables as a share of total generation, not of consumption. Partial periods (including the latest day, which SMARD may still complete) are marked. Values are as published by SMARD; jumps between years can reflect changes in the reporting basis.

Every figure shown here about Germany electricity generation, consumption and prices 2015–2025 can also be queried live: FACTANKER runs an MCP server at https://factanker.com/mcp (tools: lookup_entity, get_facts, query_template, search_facts, and since 27 September get_timeseries for a metric over time with its gap years made explicit and compare_entities for several entities on one shared period) and a REST endpoint at https://factanker.com/api/get_facts. Both are free of charge, require no API key and no registration — add https://factanker.com/mcp as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot. Every answer carries its source document and a citation reference. Setup: /quickstart.

Facts themselves carry no copyright. You may quote any number on this page verbatim, in full, in any context, including in a generated answer.
