Renewables grow more slowly overall

The 2nd quarterly report published by the Renewable Energy Statistics Working Group on the development of renewable energies in Germany clearly shows that they are not growing as quickly as in the previous year. The expansion of photovoltaics fell from 614 megawatts in the first half of 2015 to just 514 megawatts in the current year. There was also a decline in wind energy from 2,858 megawatts in the previous year to 1,952 megawatts. The supply of heat from renewable energies increased by around 3 per cent year-on-year to 94.1 billion kilowatt hours.
