In advanced economies1, nuclear power accounts for 18% of generation and is the largest low-carbon source of electricity. However, its share of global electricity supply has been declining in recent years. German nuclear power began with research reactors in the 1950s and 1960s with the first commercial plant coming online in 1969. A total of 26 nuclear power reactors are undergoing decommissioning, one is in post-operation and three nuclear power plants have already been fully dismantled. Solar Energy Accounts for Half of Germany’s Energy Output Germany has proven that solar energy is definitely the way forward with impressive production rates. Solar power in Germany consists almost exclusively of photovoltaics (PV) and accounted for an estimated 8.2 percent of the country's gross-electricity generation in 2019. About 1.5 million photovoltaic systems were installed around the country in 2014, ranging from small rooftop systems, to medium commercial and large utility-scale solar parks. Nuclear power in Germany accounted for 11.63% of electricity supply in 2017 compared to 22.4% in 2010. Germany has six nuclear power reactors in operation and is in the process of phasing out its nuclear power programme. Nuclear power today makes a significant contribution to electricity generation, providing 10% of global electricity supply in 2018. As of 2017, the share of nuclear power in the electricity sector in the country is decreasing following the decision of a complete nuclear phase-out by the next decade.
