Wind and solar share (forecast)

Forecast generation from wind and sun compared with forecast electricity demand in Germany, hour by hour.

Across the day, wind and solar are expected to cover about 70% of demand. The greenest stretch is 12:00 to 15:00, at around 101%. The cheapest three-hour window falls largely within it – cheap and green at the same time.

Values above 100% mean more wind and solar power is expected than is consumed in Germany; the surplus is exported or stored. Based on the official forecasts of the transmission system operators.

How the German price is set

Germany and Luxembourg share one bidding zone. The noon auction sets 96 quarter-hour prices for the next day.

Since 2025 every German supplier must offer at least one dynamic tariff. Network charges, taxes and levies are added at fixed rates, so on a typical household bill the wholesale part is less than half of the total.

FAQ

When are tomorrow's prices published?
The day-ahead auction closes at 12:00 CET. Results are normally available from about 12:45–13:30 CET, and this site picks them up automatically.
Why are prices sometimes negative?
When wind and solar output is high and demand is low, some producers cannot or will not reduce output. The market then clears below zero. Whether you benefit depends on your contract.
Is the final price exactly what I pay?
No – it is an estimate built from official taxes and charges plus a sample supplier margin. Your own contract, grid area and fixed fees can differ.
