Offshore wind output is expected to grow 25% in Germany in 2019 to 24 terrawatt-hours, up from over 19TWh last year, according to preliminary data.
Overall, renewabes consumption in the country will reach almost 43%, up from just over 38% in 2018, according to analysis by the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Wurttemberg (ZSW) and the Federal Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW).
A total of 244TWh of electricity will be generated from clean power this year in the country, they said.
Onshore wind power will have the largest share of the generation with 104TWh, up from 90.9TWh last year, ZSW and BDEW said.
Solar will generate 45TWh, up from 44TWh in 2018, with biomass contributing 45TWh compared with 44.6TWh the year before.
Hydropower will deliver 21TWh, an increase from the 17.9TW generated last year, ZSW and BDEW said.
