According to the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), Germany produced a total of 438 TWh of electricity (+1.4%) in 2025 (Destatis press release, 06/03/2026). During 2025, 58.6% of Germany’s total electric generation fed to the grid came from renewable energies (257 TWh, as in 2024), of which most was domestically generated.
Wind production fell by 3.6% to 131 TWh, reducing its share in the power mix to 30% (-1.5 pp), but wind remained the largest source of electricity in Germany's power mix in 2025. Solar generation rose by 17.4% to 70 TWh, i.e., 16% of the total domestic generation. Hydropower generation fell by 22.5% to 15.8 TWh (3.6% of the power mix).
Conventional thermal power generation rose by 3.6% to 181 TWh, accounting for 41.1% of the electricity fed to the grid (40.5% in 2024). This is attributed to a 10% increase in gas-fired power generation to 70.6 TWh (16.1% of the power mix), while coal-fired generation remained stable at 96.8 TWh (22.1%).
Electricity imported to Germany decreased by 2.6% to 79.6 TWh, while electricity exports rose by 8.7% to 60.2 TWh.
