Who produces the most green electricity?

Half of the electricity generated in Germany, according to Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE comes from renewable sources. The wind energy alone contributed around 27 percent to electricity generation last year. But who produces green electricity? 17.2 percent of the installed performance includes energy suppliers, another 14.1 percent banks and funds. The vast majority of the agency for renewable energies (AEE) in the possession of private individuals. But that seems to change now. A development that the AEE also sees critically. “At the beginning of the energy transition, it was above all the citizens of Germany who recognized the economic opportunities of renewable energies. It is quite gratifying that financially strong investors are now more committed to climate -friendly energy generation. But the citizens' energy must continue to find its place as the energy transition progresses. Because opportunities for participation promote acceptance, ”says Aee Managing Director Robert Brandt.

Distribution of the installed capacity of renewable energy systems in Germany 2019

  • Private individuals – 30.2%
  • Energy supplier – 17.2%
  • Project developer – 14.2%
  • Funds/banks – 14.1%
  • Commercial – 13.2%
  • Farmers – 10.2%
  • Other 0.8%

Survey: What is more important to you: a rapid energy transition or low electricity prices?

This statistic deals with the results of a survey on the willingness to pay a higher electricity price for the use of renewable energies. At the time of the survey, 52 percent of those surveyed said that the increase in energy prices for private consumers and companies should be slowed.

What is more important to you: a rapid energy transition or low electricity prices?

  • Slowing down the rise in energy prices for private consumers and entrepreneurs – 52%
  • Rapidly advance the energy transition without nuclear power – 40%
  • Both equally important – 4%
  • Don’t know, no answer – 4%

In 2022, private households in Germany will pay 3.72 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity for the EEG surcharge. The EEG levy serves to promote renewable energies in accordance with the Renewable Energy Sources Act. It is part of the electricity price and represents the difference in costs between the market price for electricity and the subsidy rate for renewable energy sources.

Composition of electricity prices

In 2020, household customers in Germany paid an average of 33.8 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity in the basic supply tariff. The electricity price in Germany is made up of various items. The EEG surcharge, network fees and the “procurement and sales” factor have so far made up the largest share of the total price.

Industrial electricity prices

The price of electricity for industry in Germany has tended to rise since the turn of the last century. However, if the prices are considered without taking into account the imposed electricity tax, a decline in prices can be seen in this country. Just as for private households, the price of electricity in industry has so far mainly been made up of network fees, procurement and sales as well as the EEG surcharge. In a European comparison, Malta, Ireland and Cyprus are the countries with the highest industrial electricity prices.

Amount of the EEG surcharge for household electricity customers in Germany from 2003 to 2022 (in euro cents per kilowatt hour)

  • 2003 – 0.41 euro cents
  • 2004 – 0.54 euro cents
  • 2005 – 0.63 euro cents
  • 2006 – 0.78 euro cents
  • 2007 – 0.96 euro cents
  • 2008 – 1.15 euro cents
  • 2009 – 1.3 euro cents
  • 2010 – 2.15 euro cents
  • 2011 – 3.53 euro cents
  • 2012 – 3.59 euro cents
  • 2013 – 5.28 euro cents
  • 2014 – 6.24 euro cents
  • 2015 – 6.17 euro cents
  • 2016 – 6.35 euro cents
  • 2017 – 6.88 euro cents
  • 2018 – 6.79 euro cents
  • 2019 – 6.41 euro cents
  • 2020 – 6.76 euro cents
  • 2021 – 6.5 euro cents
  • 2022 – 3.72 euro cents
*The values ​​for the years from 2019 were taken from the same previous year's publications. The values ​​for the years 2010 to 2018 come from the reports of the 4 transmission system operators. The values ​​for the years before 2010 come from the publication “Liberation of the energy -intensive industry in Germany” published in 2012.
