Preliminary calculations suggest renewable energy sources covered around 56% of electricity consumption in Germany in the first three months of the year.
According to utility association BDEW, renewable energy plants generated around 75.9 billion kWh of electricity from January to March.
Onshore wind energy plants alone produced 39.4 billion kWh of electricity, covering more than a quarter of demand.
Germany aims to have a renewable electricity share of 80 percent by 2030 and a largely decarbonised power supply by 2035.
