Germany's solar power surpassed lignite in 2025, but policy delays slowed renewable growth, threatening 2030 climate goals.
In 2025, Germany's renewable energy share in power production rose slightly to 58.8%, with solar power generating 18%—up from 14% in 2024—and surpassing lignite for the first time.
Wind remained the top source at 27%, but overall growth slowed due to policy shifts under Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative government, which has delayed expansions and reduced solar subsidies.
Despite record solar output from over 5.5 million systems, new installations stalled at 17.5 gigawatts, raising concerns about meeting 2030 climate targets.
Coal and natural gas use increased, while environmental groups warn the government’s focus on economic stability may hinder progress.
