Germany has reached a historic milestone in its clean energy transition, with solar power accounting for nearly 60% of electricity generation during peak daylight hours in April. The German Solar Association credits the increase to favorable weather and expanded rooftop installations.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the achievement a “victory for energy independence and climate action.” Solar energy is now seen as a primary pillar in Germany’s goal of phasing out coal and nuclear power by 2035.
Bangladesh and Bhutan — both investing in solar infrastructure — are seeking technical collaboration with German firms to scale their own renewable ambitions.
