Overall there were 298 hours of negative day-ahead wholesale electricity prices on the exchange last year (2019: 211 hours).Īs a result of the fallen net exports and the lower wholesale electricity prices, the export surplus ** was smaller in 2020 (€351m) than in 2019 (€1,096m). The price of electricity reached its lowest value, minus 83.94 euros per megawatt hour, on 21 April 2020 between 2pm and 3pm. The highest price on the day-ahead wholesale market (€200.04/MWh) was reached on 21 September 2020 between 7pm and 8pm. The average day-ahead wholesale price for electricity in 2020 was €30.47/MWh (2019: €37.67/MWh). A direct connection between Germany and Norway called Nordlink is being completed it has been in trial operation since December and should go into regular operation in spring 2021. Since mid-November foreign trade between Germany and Belgium has been taking place via the direct electricity link ALEGRo (net export 0.4 TWh). The net export fell by 46.2% compared with 2019 (35.1 TWh). Germany was again in 2020 a net exporter of electricity with a net export of 18.9 TWh, which can be broken down into 52.5 TWh exported electricity (2019: 59.4 TWh) and 33.6 TWh imported electricity (2019: 24.2 TWh). The highest share within a one-hour period, 112.2% or 49.3 GWh, was recorded on between 2pm and 3pm. Overall the grid load decreased in 2020 by 3.2% to 474.9 TWh (2019: 490.5 TWh) and the (net) amount of electricity generated fell by 5.2% to 492.3 TWh (2019: 519.2 TWh).ĭaily output from renewables maintained a constant minimum of 16.0% of the total grid load in 2020. Generation from conventional sources totalled 259.2 TWh, down 12.2% from 2019. The largest increase in absolute terms was in solar generation, up from 41.9 TWh in 2019 to 45.8 TWh in 2020, an increase of 9.3%. Offshore wind generation was around 11.2% higher than the previous year, rising from 24.2 TWh in 2019 to 26.9 TWh in 2020. Onshore wind generation (103.1 TWh) was around 3.5% higher than the previous year (99.6 TWh). On and offshore wind farms together generated 27.4%, solar covered 9.7%, and the remaining 12.2% came from biomass, hydropower and other renewables.Īt 233.1 TWh in 2020, overall generation from renewable energy sources was 4.1% higher than the previous year’s figure of 223.9 TWh. Wind farms – especially those on land – made the largest contribution. The grid load share of electricity generated from renewables in 2020 was 49.3% (2019: 46.1%). The numbers are based on data taken from, the electricity market data platform of the Bundesnetzagentur. The Bundesnetzagentur today published electricity market data for the year 2020.
