In Germany, Wind and Solar Overtake Fossil Fuels
Reported byYale Environment 360 ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Germany generated 44 percent of its electricity from wind and solar in 2025, surpassing fossil fuels' 43 percent for the first time, marking a major milestone in the country's energy transition toward net-zero by 2045.
Germany still relies on fossil fuels for 43% of power and targets coal phase-out by 2038; the E.U. as a whole saw renewables at 30% versus 29% for fossil fuels in 2025.
