How much electricity does Germany import?

In commercial foreign trade, Germany imported a total of 67.0 TWh (2023: 54.3 TWh) and exported 35.1 TWh (2023: 39.0 TWh). Imports were about 23.2% up and exports 10.1% down compared with 2023. Germany has sufficient electricity generation capacity. Electricity is usually imported whenever domestic production would be more expensive.

What is Germany's energy supply based on?

Germany's energy supply is based on a major sector which relies on both domestic production and foreign imports. In terms of primary energy self-sufficiency, Germany was at 100 percent for three leading resources: brown coal or lignite, nuclear power, and renewable energy.

What is Germany's most important energy source?

Renewables therefore represented the most important energy source for Germany’s electricity supply over the year as a whole. Wind accounted for the largest share of total generation among all energy sources, with 25.7 TWh from offshore wind (2023: 23.5 TWh) and 111.9 TWh from onshore wind (2023: 118.8 TWh).
