Almost 52% of Germany's gross electricity consumption was produced by renewable electricity in 2023. An increase of 5% in one year. The goal is 80% by 2030; 100% by 2035. (www.cleanenergywire.org)

In 2017, 51% of the electricity produced in Germany was low carbon.

What sources are catagorized as "low carbon" vs "renewable" vs "fossil fuels"?

Renewable energy production is based on renewable energy sources such as wind and water flow, sunshine, and geothermal energy. Low-carbon energy production means that the production involves a very low level of greenhouse gas emissions, such as in nuclear power production.
