(@FahadShabbir)BERLIN, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 30th Sep, 2025) Renewable energy sources, mainly wind and solar, accounted for nearly 57 percent of Germany's electricity consumption in the first three quarters of the year, the same level as a year earlier, according to industry data released on Tuesday.
Gross electricity production rose by 0.
Lignite and hard coal made up just over 20 percent of the power mix, while gas-fired plants contributed around 16 percent.
Economy and Energy Minister Katherina Reiche said she aims to adjust Germany's energy transition strategy, projecting slower growth in electricity demand in the coming years.
Reiche reaffirmed the government's target of raising the share of renewable power to 80 percent by 2030.
