Schleswig-Holstein is at 100% wind since 2014. It's Southern Germany that lags behind. https://spd-geschichtswerkstatt.de/wiki/Energiewende
Alter, es ist immer mein reudiges Bayern, oder?
Vergiss nicht BW
Oida, i bin's ned
Mein niederbayrisches Dach hat gestern Solarzellen bekommen. Sind zwar noch nicht angeschlossen, aber immerhin...
So macht ma des, Maggus!
Wir versorgen uns seit einem Jahr auch mit ca. 90% eigenen Solarstrom. FΓΌhlt sich echt gut an.
I couldnβt be less surprised
Yeah, me neither

Like most of the time, the answer is complex: Yes, there is less wind in the south, but also yes, the south could approve more wind turbines. Yes, the south slows down the construction of high voltage power lines from the wind-rich north to the energy-hungry south, but the states that have to be crossed also do "their part".
In the end a couple different electricity-pricing regions would help in balancing all of this.
That number is slightly misleading because practically we should subtract Hamburg's consumption from our overproduction. Someone does have to power the peppersacks and it of course should be us, to keep them dependent.
