- What do these register figures show, and what do they not show?
- Figures come from the weekly full export of the Marktstammdatenregister, the official register in which every electricity generating unit in Germany must be entered. Counts and capacity are sums over all registered units by state, district, size class, status and commissioning year. Register entries are made by operators and checked by grid operators with delay, so recent months are incomplete and earlier entries can change. Capacity is gross capacity (Bruttoleistung); planned means registered with status 'In Planung'. The district is the register's own field and is not corrected by FACTANKER.

What this covers. Every wind turbine, solar installation and battery storage unit registered in the Marktstammdatenregister (MaStR) of the Bundesnetzagentur, full data export of November 15, 2026, read weekly. Counts and capacity cover all units including small rooftop and balcony systems; unit lists cover all wind turbines and solar and storage units over 100 kW. Capacity is gross capacity as registered. Every figure links to the page that recomputes it from the register (by state, district, size class, commissioning year, status and operator), to the capacity record of a unit, or to a calculation page. Units operated by private individuals carry no name or operator. Hub: Germany renewables by district.

Figures come from the weekly full export of the Marktstammdatenregister, the official register in which every electricity generating unit in Germany must be entered. Counts and capacity are sums over all registered units by state, district, size class, status and commissioning year. Register entries are made by operators and checked by grid operators with delay, so recent months are incomplete and earlier entries can change.
