This increase reflects the expansion of wind and solar power installations under Germany's long-term low-carbon economic strategy, as well as the role
of taking advantage of weather changes.

E.
ON points out that while most of the production is still put into the public grid and therefore counted, with the help of batteries, more and more photovoltaic generator sets are used for consumption in private homes
