The lion's share of green electricity came from wind turbines on land and at sea which, according to German energy company Eon's figures, contributed around 55 billion kilowatt hours in the first half of 2018.
Overall, renewable energy production rose by nine percent compared to the first half of last year.
According to Eon, the amount of green electricity produced from January until the end of June 2018 would be sufficient to supply all German households with electricity for one year with at an average consumption of 2,500 kilowatt hours.
