Germany's clean energy power generation accounted for a new high

     In the first quarter of 2020, clean solar panels for house system cost generation in Germany accounted for more than half of Germany ’s electricity consumption over the same period, a record high.

    The German Energy and Water Industry Association and the Baden-Württemberg Solar and Hydrogen Research Center issued a statement on the 1st that according to the calculations of the two agencies, German photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, hydropower and other clean energy in the first quarter of 2020 Electricity generation accounts for about 52% of the total electricity consumption during the same period, reaching the highest level ever. Previously, clean energy power generation in the first quarter of 2019 accounted for 44.4% of total electricity consumption during the same period.

    Statistics show that Germany's clean energy power generation in the first quarter of 2020 was 77 billion kWh, an increase of about 10 billion kWh over the same period in 2019.

    The German Energy and Water Industry Association said that the sharp increase in the proportion of clean energy power generation in the first quarter of 2020 is the result of a combination of climate and other factors. According to statistics from the German Federal Network Administration, on February 16th, due to the clear and windy conditions in Germany, nearly 93% of the national electricity consumption was provided by clean energy. In addition, in the first quarter of 2020, affected by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the total electricity consumption in Germany decreased by 1% compared with the same period in 2019, which also increased the proportion of clean energy power generation.
