Energy transition: fewer jobs generate more electricity

Energy transition: fewer jobs generate more electricity

In the first quarter of 2021, coal accounted for almost 29 percent of gross electricity generation, i.e. the amount of electricity fed into the power grid, as an energy source. The share of renewable energies was just under 41 percent. Electricity from wind power, photovoltaic systems and biomass is becoming more important from year to year, as the graphic shows.

While only 95,939 gigawatt hours (GWh) were accounted for by renewable energy when electricity generation from offshore wind turbines started in 2009, in 2019 it was already 242,434 GWh. This corresponds to 40 percent of total gross electricity generation. However, imported electricity is also included in this figure, which can have an impact on the labor market. An indication of this: Although the energy transition is underway, the number of employees has been steadily declining for the past ten years, with the exception of 2016. According to an analysis by the Federal Environment Agency , the migration of the photovoltaic industry to other countries, the decline in the number of wind turbines installed annually and unfavorable conditions in foreign trade are responsible for this.

Although some of the electricity is imported from abroad, Germany still remains an export country in the energy sector: the 40,000 GWh of electricity imported is compared to 67,000 GWh of electricity exported.

Energy transition: Fewer jobs generate more electricity

In the first quarter of 2021, coal accounted for just under 29 percent of gross electricity generation, ie the amount of electricity fed into the power grid. Renewables accounted for just under 41 percent. Electricity from wind power, photovoltaic systems and biomass is nevertheless becoming more important every year, as the chart shows.

Whereas renewable energies accounted for only 95,939 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity generation when offshore wind farms started in 2009, by 2019 the figure had risen to 242,434 GWh. This corresponds to 40 percent of total gross electricity generation. However, this figure also includes imported electricity, which can have an impact on the labor market. One indication of this is that although the energy transition is underway, the number of employees has been declining consistently for the past ten years, with the exception of 2016. According to an analysis by the Federal Environment Agency , the migration of the photovoltaic industry to other countries, the decline in the number of wind turbines installed each year and unfavorable conditions in foreign trade are responsible for this.

Although parts of the electricity are imported from abroad, Germany nevertheless remains an exporting country in the energy sector: the 40,000 GWh of imported electricity are offset by 67,000 GWh of exported electricity.
