Germany fed 438.2 TWh into its public grid in 2025. While solar generation surged 17.4% to a record 70.1 TWh (nearly tying with natural gas), overall renewable output dipped slightly, reducing its grid share to 58.6%. Wind remained the top energy source despite a 3.6% drop to 131.3 TWh. Conversely, fossil fuel generation increased to a 41.4% share, largely driven by a 10.2% jump in gas-fired output. Germany also narrowed its net electricity import surplus to 19.4 TWh.
