    In the first six months of this year, more than half of Germany's electricity came from conventional energy sources, mainly from the increase in coal-fired power generation, according to data released by the Wiesbaden statistical office, but renewable energy is growing
    .

    From January to June, 51.
    5% of electricity came from traditional energy, down from 56.
    2% in the same period last year, while the share of renewable energy reached 48.
    5%, up from 43.
    8%
    in the same period last year.

    The decline in traditional energy sources is mainly due to the shift
    from natural gas and nuclear energy.
    However, coal-fired power plant production increased by 17.
    2% from the same period last year, accounting for nearly a third
    of total electricity generation.

    The rise in the share of renewables was driven by an increase in wind and solar power, driven by a large amount of sunshine hours and a continuous supply
    of wind power in the first six months.
