    To be fair, power consumption in Germany has been down since April too. So the renewable percentage increased but absolute numbers were similar/lower. There are a number of explanations, and they probably all apply to some degree, mostly:

    • increased on-site energy generation which is not counted
    • corporations are leaving Germany for China/the US/wherever (the favorite theory of the political right)
  • source
  • parent
