Renewable power installations in the first two months of 2022. Figures released by energy industry association聽BDEW聽and the Centre for Solar 麻豆无码版 and Hydrogen Research Baden-Wurttemberg (ZSW) showed that wind turbines, solar panels and other renewables contributed 54 percent of power consumption in January and February. These installations produced about 25 percent more electricity than in the same period one year before. 鈥淭he increase is mainly due to favourable weather conditions for power production with wind and sunshine,鈥� BDEW and ZSW said. With an output of 20.6 billion kilowatt hours (kWh), February 2022 also ended up being a new record month for wind power production in the country. In that month alone, renewables even covered 62 percent of total electricity consumption.

However, the high renewables output 鈥渟hould not conceal the fact that the expansion of renewable power sources is happening much too slow鈥�, said BDEW head Kerstin Andreae. She added that the war in Ukraine had highlighted the need for more energy autonomy, urging the government to make sure that licensing procedures are carried out faster and other hurdles for renewables expansion are removed.
