German electricity generation by source, 1990–2025, rebuilt from the raw Energy Institute series. Fossil generation peaked at 401 TWh in 2007 and has roughly halved since; nuclear went to zero after the last reactors closed in 2023; and wind + solar have climbed from almost nothing to become the single largest source of power.
