Germany’s power mix hits 57% renewables in nine months
Germany’s power system is holding its clean-energy gains. In the first nine months of 2025, renewables supplied almost 57% of the country’s gross electricity consumption—on par with the same period last year. The headline stability masks a lot of movement beneath the surface: wind remained the backbone, solar continued to grow into midday hours, and hydropower contributed modestly depending on basin conditions.
The numbers reflect a grid in transition. On sunny, windy days, wholesale prices dipped and curtailment occasionally rose as operators balanced congestion in the north against strong demand centers in the west and south. On still evenings, by contrast, prices spiked—reminding policymakers that flexibility, not just capacity, is the scarce commodity. Batteries, demand response, and smarter interconnections are now central to planning, while gas plants continue to provide firming and black-start capabilities.
Rooftop and utility-scale solar both added material daytime output this year, aided by cheaper modules and faster permitting in several Länder. Yet more PV without flexibility can widen the “duck curve,” so transmission build-outs and storage procurements are stepping up. Co-located batteries at new solar sites help shift noon surpluses into dusk, and growing aggregations of home batteries and heat pumps are beginning to provide ancillary services via virtual power plants.
For industry, the 57% figure has two meanings. First, carbon intensity keeps falling, which aligns with corporate Scope 2 targets and improves the case for electrifying heat and processes. Second, volatility persists, so long-term contracts and flexible consumption strategies—thermal storage, smart charging, process timing—remain essential to keep energy costs predictable.
Winter will be the next test. Shorter days and variable wind call for careful coordination across borders and technologies. If Germany can keep adding storage, accelerating transmission, and rewarding flexible load, the system can push past the 60% threshold sustainably rather than sporadically. The year-to-date data shows the destination is in sight; getting there is now mostly about timing and tools, not technology.
