Germany’s energy consumption and power mix in charts

A wealth of numbers and statistics describe the energy generation and consumption of nation states. This factsheet provides a range of charts (and data links) about the status of Germany’s energy mix, as well as developments in energy and power production and usage since 1990. [UPDATES graphs on electricity and primary energy with latest data by AGEB]
