Renewable energy sources made up a record 58% of Germany's electricity consumption during the first half of 2026.

在2026年上半年，再生能源佔德國電力消費的比例達到紀錄性的 58%。

The increase in renewable energy use is mainly due to the growth of wind power. Specifically, offshore and onshore wind production rose by 28.3% and 7.0% respectively. Solar energy saw a small increase of 3.7%, while biomass rose by 0.6%. In contrast, hydropower production fell by 7.7% because there was less rainfall. According to data from the ZSW and BDEW, these figures show that Germany is moving toward its 2030 goal of 80% renewable energy, as required by the Renewable Energy Act (EEG).

再生能源使用量的增加主要歸功於風能的成長。具體而言，離岸與陸上風電產量分別成長了 28.3% 與 7.0%。太陽能小幅成長 3.7%，而生物質能源則成長 0.6%。相較之下，由於降雨量減少，水力發電量下降了 7.7%。根據 ZSW 與 BDEW 的數據，這些數據顯示德國正朝向《再生能源法》(EEG) 要求的 2030 年 80% 再生能源目標邁進。

From a strategic point of view, switching to renewable electricity is seen as a way to improve national energy security. Frithjof Staiss, an executive at ZSW, emphasized that increasing the share of renewables helps the country become less dependent on imported fossil fuels. Consequently, this reduces the risk of being affected by unpredictable global price changes. Furthermore, the government asserts that the success of climate protection depends on using renewable sources for electrification. However, despite this progress in electricity, a large gap remains in total energy use, where fossil fuels still make up 77.2% of the overall energy mix.

從戰略角度來看，轉向再生電力被視為提升國家能源安全的一種方式。ZSW 主管 Frithjof Staiss 強調，提高再生能源比例有助於降低國家對進口化石燃料的依賴。因此，這能減少受到全球價格不可預測變動影響的風險。此外，政府主張氣候保護的成功取決於將再生能源用於電氣化。然而，儘管電力方面取得了進展，但在總體能源使用上仍有巨大差距，化石燃料在整體能源組合中仍佔 77.2%。

Germany has reached a record high in renewable electricity consumption, although the country still relies heavily on fossil fuels for its total energy needs.

德國的再生電力消費達到了歷史新高，儘管該國在總體能源需求方面仍高度依賴化石燃料。
