According to the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems<\/a>, 47 percent of the electricity generated in Germany this year has come from renewable sources. Up to and including mid-July, wind and solar power plants in Germany produced almost 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity. By comparison, the figure for lignite and hard coal was 84 TWh. According to a report in the Handelsblatt newspaper<\/a>, the share of coal-fired power plants in German electricity generation fell surprisingly sharply in the first half of the year. “Wind, solar and even gas plants displaced hard coal-fired power plants from the market on a large scale, but increasingly also lignite plants.” <\/p>\n
