Some numerical context: current installed capacity 34.8 GW (gas), about 39 GW (coal), 170 GW (solar and wind). Obviously the installed capacity for renewables is only half of the story, the output depends both on the respective input and on the capacity of the grid to accept electricity. And since the gas power plants serve as peaker plants even now, they're running only at 15% load. https://gas.info/gas-im-energiemix/strom-aus-gas/versorgungssicherheit-strom/gas-kraftwerke https://gas.info/gas-im-energiemix/strom-aus-gas/versorgungs... https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/EN/2024/20240105_EEGZubau.html https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilung...
