  1. Back from holidays, I realize that I'm still one post behind schedule, so here is #GermanEnergyFact #36 (which also concludes my mini series of fun facts about EEG 2000 and 2023):

    How often does the expression "coal phase-out" (Kohleausstieg) appear in different versions of the 🇩🇪 Renewable Energy Sources act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, #EEG):

    ▶️ First EEG version of the year 2000: 0️⃣
    ▶️ Current EEG of 2023: 5️⃣

  2. #GermanEnergyFact #22: #renewable #electricity generation in 🇩🇪 since 1990

    I'm concluding my week on #renewables with a time series of renewable electricity generation.

    ▶️ Early 90s: < 20 TWh, most of it hydro power.
    ▶️ 2022: 253 TWh, more than 13 times as much than 1990.
    ▶️ Most of the growth came from #wind and #solar power.
    ▶️ This number has to grow >1000 TWh by 2045 in most relevant climate-neutrality scenarios.

    Today, no hard numbers, just visuals: monthly generation from PV (yellow) in 🇩🇪 is relatively high between around April and September, while generation from wind power (dark & light blue) is above-average between around October and March. Nice seasonal balancing (on a monthly basis).

  12. #GermanEnergyFact #20: #renewable #electricity generation

    Earlier this week, I talked about renewable generation capacity (GW) in 🇩🇪 (facts #16-18). #AGEE-Stat also provides up-to-date data on renewable electricity generation (TWh): umweltbundesamt.de/themen/klim (sorry for the German chart, no time for translation today)

    ▶️ Overall renewable electricity generation in 2022 was a bit above 250 TWh, the highest value ever. The trend is good - but we need much more to make the #Energiewende really happen

    Now, offshore wind, again using data by #AGEE-Stat / #Umweltbundesamt: umweltbundesamt.de/themen/klim. Graphs from the #openenergytracker: openenergytracker.org/en/docs/

    ▶️ By the end of Nov 22, the installed offshore wind power capacity was 8.1 GW.
    ▶️ There has been hardly any development for years.
    ▶️ But now 🇩🇪 really plans to get started with a 30 GW target for 2030.
    ▶️ In 2023 alone, there will be tenders for an additional 8.8 (!) GW.

  22. #GermanEnergyFact #17: installed capacity of #onshore #wind power in 🇩🇪

    Let's continue with onshore wind capacity, again using data by #AGEE-Stat / #Umweltbundesamt: umweltbundesamt.de/themen/klim. Graphs from the #openenergytracker: openenergytracker.org/en/docs/

    ▶️ By the end of Nov 22, the installed onshore wind capacity was 57.9 GW.
    ▶️ The 🇩🇪 government aims for 115 GW by 2030.
    ▶️ Currently we are below the required expansion path, and the speed has to increase a lot to meet the 2030 target.

    I promised this week would focus on #renewables, so let's continue with solar #photovoltaics capacity, using data published today by #AGEE-Stat / #Umweltbundesamt: umweltbundesamt.de/themen/klim. Graphs from the #openenergytracker: openenergytracker.org/en/docs/

    ▶️ By the end of Nov 22, PV capacity was 66.1 GW.

  32. #GermanEnergyFact #8: oil

    I'm wrapping up this first week with some #oil consumption data for 🇩🇪 (sorry I'm a bit late, this was a family day), based on recent #AGEB data: ag-energiebilanzen.de/wp-conte

    ▶️ Sales of #diesel fuel decreased by 1% from 2021 to 2022, #gasoline +4%, jet fuel +44% (!)
    ▶️ Mio t are hard to deal with, so here are derived liter/capita numbers: ~490 l diesel, ~270 l gasoline, ~130 l jet fuel per person. Note: these averages includes all people, also those who never drive or fly.

  33. #GermanEnergyFact #6 is even more dirty than the last one: #lignite

    Here is most recent #AGEB data on lignite for 2022: ag-energiebilanzen.de/wp-conte

    ▶️ Primary #energy consumption of lignite in 🇩🇪 increased by 5% in 2022 vs. 2021. #wrongtrend
    ▶️ The overall consumption in 2022 was 329 TWh. That is nearly 4000 kWh per capita #thatsalot!
    ▶️ Around 90% of this was used for #electricity generation, which was also up by around 5% vs. 2021, driven by exploding electricity prices

  34. #GermanEnergyFact #5: It gets dirty - lets talk about coal.

    After two unplanned digressions (LNG and electric cars), I now return to primary #energy consumption facts for 🇩🇪 , this time focusing on hard #coal. I use new #AGEB data available here: ag-energiebilanzen.de/wp-conte

    ▶️ Overall coal consumption increased by nearly 5% in 2022 vs. 2021. #wrongdirection
    ▶️ Overall consumption in 2022 was 323 TWh, or nearly 4000 kWh per capita. #thisisstillalot

  35. Okay, everyone sober again? Then let's start the new year with #GermanEnergyFact #1: Primary #energy consumption.

    According to new #AGEB data, German primary energy consumption was 11,829 PJ in 2022. If you are more comfortable with watt-hours: this corresponds to 3286 TWh - or nearly 40,000 kWh per capita.

    ▶️ More than a third of this is #oil - on average a German consumed nearly 14,000 kWh of oil.
    ▶️ Around a quarter is natural #gas, more than 9000 kWh per capita.
