About this data
Germany renewable energy capacity, tracking the installed power base and monthly auction results. Published by Fraunhofer ISE and the Federal Network Agency, this monthly dataset measures installed capacity for solar photovoltaics, onshore and offshore wind, biomass, and battery storage. The records include net additions in megawatts and detail the outcomes of tender rounds for wind and solar projects. Available since 2002, the series capture tendered capacity, awarded capacity, and the average award price.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the latest figure for Germany renewable energy capacity?
- Solar photovoltaics (DC module capacity) stood at 130.76 GW in Sep 2026. That is +0.8% from Aug 2026 and +15.4% from a year earlier.
- How far back does the Germany renewable energy capacity data go?
- The series on this page is monthly and runs from Jan 2002 to Sep 2026. Source: Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). Every series in the table can be charted over its full history and downloaded as CSV or Excel.
- What does the Germany renewable energy capacity dataset measure?
- It measures the installed electrical generation capacity from renewable sources across Germany, alongside monthly net capacity additions. It also tracks the results of government tender rounds for new solar and wind projects, detailing submitted bids and awarded capacity.
- Which technologies are included in the German renewable power statistics?
- The data cover solar photovoltaics, distinguishing between DC module and AC inverter capacity, as well as onshore wind, offshore wind, biomass, and battery storage systems.
- What pricing information is available for German renewable energy auctions?
- The tender results include the permitted maximum bid price and the capacity-weighted average award price for successful bids. These figures are expressed in Euro cents per kilowatt-hour and are dated to the month of the bid deadline.
