How will the German Energiewende (transition to renewable energy) go in 2024?

Plus

Dec 31

50%

Renewable energies will account for more than 60 % of gross electricity consumption.

19%

Gap to the grid expansion target of 2023 reduced to 5000km or less.

500,000 heat pumps getting installed

The 6.9GW wind energy construction goal will be reached.

Resolved

YES

The 13GW solar energy construction goal will be reached.

The current government is trying to expand renewables strongly as a response to the energy crisis and to tackle climate change. This question aims at electricity, not primary energy consumption.

Update 2024-09-12 (PST): Resolution will be based on the Bundesnetzagentur's monitoring report for 2024. (AI summary of creator comment)

opened a Ṁ100 NO at 50% order

@Gideon37 What source will you use for the 60% of gross electrical consumption? (Have been looking at the zeit.de Energiemonitor, but they seem to differ from their source, the Fraunhofer ISE (or I just couldn't find the correct data there))

@Primer you can find Bundesnetzagentur‘s monitoring report below, I intend to base the resolution on the report for 2024

bought Ṁ250 YES

@Gideon37 The 13GW solar energy construction goal can resolve Yes:

Currently "grid expansion is 6,000 kilometres and seven years behind schedule."

Germany's net electricity generation was slighter lower in 2022 due to a drop in consumption. The share of renewables in gross electricity consumption was 45%, up from 40% in 2021. –Monitoring report 2023 from Bundesnetzagentur

I assume this is the metric we aim for with "total energy consumption".

@marktwse Yes, gross electricity consumption.
