Saksa: 35% sähköstä uusiutuvaa

Germany’s electricity from renewable sources accounted for 35% in the first half of 2017, or an increase of 6% compared with the same period last year, according to the BEE renewable energy association.

Germany is planning on eliminating its nuclear power plants by 2022. Germany’s renewable energy has been on the rise for the last two decades due to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG). Around 85 percent of the power from renewable energy was obtained by the nation on certain sunny and windy days.  [emp]
