Federal Statistics Office
The share of renewables in Germany鈥檚 gross final energy consumption has increased from 3.7 percent in 2000 to 14.6 percent in 2016, the Federal Statistics Office (Destatis) announced. Most of this (7.2 percentage points) was achieved through renewable energy deployment from 2000 to 2010, despite the common notion that Germany鈥檚 energy transition only started in 2011, Destatis writes.
