Mobile WebSiteGermany aims to achieve full renewable energy supply in 2050. April 30 this year as a new milestone, Germany in 13 hours of use of electricity, 85% from renewable energy.
Patrick Graichen, director of the Agora Energiewende Initiative, the think tank of the Energiewende, said that the last weekend of the week was sunny, with generous contributions to the sun and wind, with 64% of total electricity from renewable energy and the rest Biomass and hydroelectric aids. The weekend, the highest peak solar power production reached 55.2 GW, the lowest was 16GW, even with a few hours of negative electricity prices.
The same negative price of the situation also occurred in 2016, one day renewable energy contribution of 87% of the total power generation, power generation companies to pay the German user electricity.
Graichen said most of the German thermal power plants and nuclear power plants were temporarily shut down on that day. As Germany plans to deport all nuclear power plants within five years, nuclear power plant deprivation does not seem to have much impact in the case of excess electricity in April.
In the EU countries, petrochemical fuel generation has been gradually eliminated, such as Spain three years ago has reached the main source of wind power as an indicator; Portugal in 2016 challenges for three consecutive days without the use of coal-fired power generation and natural gas power generation. In 2016, the new energy grid in Europe, the renewable energy that contributed 90% of all.
