It's done. #Germany is no longer producing electricity with nuclear power plants.

And FTR: compared to 2021 we continue to reduce conventional electricity production in 2022 in Germany.

Renewables now account for 46,3% of electricity production in 2022, compared to 42,3% in 2021.

It could and should go a lot faster, but the switch is happening.

And nuclear is just not competitive anymore. Fossil fuels are also not the future. The market will decide ;)

Problem is the added cost of diverting the entrenched interests of capital investors in fossil fuels & nuclear to renewables. The former are still seen as 'safely profitable', especially since prices jumped on the back of Ukraine war.
