Energy-Charts: Deutschland hat im Juni weniger Strom mit fossilen Brenstoffen erzeugt als je in einem Juni zuvor in c/[email protected]

Die Auswahl "Gesamt" sollte auch die Stromproduktion in der Industrie (gesamte Nettostromerzeugung einschließlich der Kraftwerke der „Betriebe im verarbeitenden Gewerbe sowie im Bergbau und in der Gewinnung von Steinen und Erden“) umfassen. Also: mit Industrie.

A Race to the Top China 2023: China's quest for energy security drives wind and solar development - Global Energy Monitor (globalenergymonitor.org)
 

From the report:

China is on track to double its utility-scale solar and wind power capacity and shatter the central government's ambitious 2030 target of 1,200 gigawatts (GW) five years ahead of schedule, if all prospective projects are successfully built and commissioned.

With 757 GW of already operating wind and solar, and an additional 750 GW of prospective wind and solar, the majority of which expected to come online by 2025, the central government's 2030 target is expected to be met 5 years ahead of schedule.

Nearly all of this prospective capacity is part of the government’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and enough to increase the global wind fleet by nearly half and large utility-scale solar installations by over 85%.

Yes, that is correct. The first half of 2023 was a new record low in electricity consumption for first half years (since 2015). You can also see that by toggeling the "Load" category. Extreme values in the tracked time period: maximum load 1,347 TWh in 2018 and minimum load this year with 1,219 TWh. Compared to last years first half there was:

  • a reduction of load by 79.7 TWh
  • a reduction of nuclear output by 11.9 TWh
  • a reduction of conventional output by 88.2 TWh
  • an increase of renewable output by 30.5 TWh

Finally to make the sums match up, we can look at the import balance: in the first half of 2022 the EU net imported 5.771 TWh, this year it net exported 4.23 TWh.

Gute Frage, die ich leider nicht beantworten kann. Bei den Erläuterungen steht da leider nichts dazu. Soweit ich es verstanden habe kategorisiert die EU das Verbrennen von Haushaltsmüll als erneuerbar, ganz sicher bin ich mir allerdings nicht, und ich weiß auch nicht was unter nicht-erneuerbaren Müll fällt.

Konventionelle Energieträger produzierten im Juni 2023 nach den Daten auf energy-charts.info mit 14,259 TWh weniger Strom als im letzten Rekordtief für einen Juni, das in 2020 by 16,696 TWh lag.

Zugleich erzeugten die Erneuerbaren Energien im Juni mit 21 TWh mehr Strom als jemals zuvor in einem Juni (voriger Rekord in 2022 lag bei 19,386 TWh).

Yes, I'm sorry if I presented that confusingly. That 31.7% is new record low for a first half year, both in terms of fraction of overall load and in absolute terms. The rebound after Corona was really short-lived and hopefully we'll see that record beaten every year from now on. Let's shoot for 0 fossil fuels!

According to the data gathered on energy-charts.info, the first half of 2023 saw the lowest production of electricity by fossil fuels since 2015. With 387 TWh (31.7% of load) from conventional sources it surpassed the previous low for a first half year of 400.9 TWh (32.1%) in 2020 by nearly 14 TWh or 3.5%.

At the same time renewables provided for more power than ever with 519.3 TWh providing 42.6% of the load.

Other records for a first half year in 2023 (see the bottom of the energy-charts page):

  • lowest nuclear power production

  • lowest fossil peat production

  • lowest load

  • highest pumped hydro usage (consumption+production)

  • highest offshore wind production (23.922 TWh)

  • highest onshore wind production (195.399 TWh)

  • highest solar power production (98.698 TWh)

This marks a notable shift towards green energy compared to the first half of 2022: renewables increased from 488.8 TWh in the first half of 2022 to 519.3 TWh in the first half this year, while fossil fuels decreased from 475.3 TWh to 387 TWh.
