Statistics - More wind will drive up electricity generation in the north in 2022
More wind drove up electricity production in Schleswig-Holstein in 2022. A total of around 29.8 million megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity were generated, 24.2 percent more than in the previous year, as reported by Statistikamt Nord in Kiel on Wednesday. Of this, 26 million MWh came from renewable energies. "In mathematical terms, around 170 percent of the electricity consumption in Schleswig-Holstein (around 15.2 million MWh) was therefore covered."
Electricity generation from onshore wind turbines rose by 12.8% to around 14.2 million MWh in 2022 and offshore by 15.3% to around 7.0 million MWh. After a very weak wind year in 2021, 2022 was again close to the average. Biogas followed in second place among the "green" energy sources with around 2.7 million MWh, around 2.4% less than in the previous year. Electricity generation from photovoltaics rose by 22.7% due to a significant increase in the number of installations and above-average solar irradiation. Nuclear power was no longer generated in 2022 following the shutdown of the Brokdorf nuclear power plant at the end of 2021.
