The other figures I quoted are right from the charts. only 22.4% of Germany's electricity is solar and wind. And only 4.1% of primary energy is solar and wind.
On at least one occasion,wind and solar provided 75% of Germany's electrical power load.If they continue to build out renewables,given the same conditions,wind and power could provide 100%.
