Bundesnetzagentur Counts Over 7.5 GW New Solar Additions In H1/2024 With 1.14 GW Deployed In June
Key Takeaways
- Bundesnetzagentur says Germany’s new solar PV additions during June 2024 totaled 1.137 GW
- It takes the H1/2024 total to over 7.5 GW, up from 6.3 GW reported for H1/2023
- According to its market master data register, the country’s aggregate installed solar PV capacity now exceeds 90 GW
The German Federal Network Agency or Bundesnetzagentur counts the country’s newly deployed solar PV capacity during June 2024 as 1,137 MW. It helped the country expand its H1/2024 PV additions to exceed 7.5 GW, as compared to around 6.3 GW in the previous year.
In comparison, other renewable energy technologies continue to grow slowly with 185 MW onshore wind, 155 MW offshore wind and 5 MW biomass capacity coming online in June this year, according to the agency’s market master data register.
The June additions this year represent more than a 14% year-over-year (YoY) decline over 1.326 GW reported for June 2023. However, the numbers improved by about 5% sequentially over the 1.085 GW for May 2024. The latter has been revised from 946 MW as announced previously.
The largest chunk during the reporting month was contributed by rooftop solar systems supported by the EEG feed-in-tariff (FiT) at 645.4 MW. There were no new additions for tenant power systems during Q2/2024. Ground-mounted PV, awarded under the EEG tender scheme, added another 329.6 MW.
Newly commissioned rooftop solar PV and ground-mounted solar capacity, without any EEG support, totaled 11.7 MW and 104 MW, respectively, down on a sequential basis in June this year.
In terms of geographical distribution, maximum new additions of 1.76 GW during H1/2024 were reported by Bavaria, followed by 1.07 GW in Baden-Württemberg, and 1.03 GW in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Although Germany installed 1.55 GW in January this year as per revised data from the agency, it is yet to reach the 1.595 GW monthly run rate that Bundesnetzagentur believes is required to achieve the 215 GW cumulative target in 2030.
