## Summary

Germany's Energiewende: 59% renewable electricity 2023 (Fraunhofer ISE). Nuclear exit 15 April 2023 — Isar 2 (48.61N 12.30E, 1,485 MW), Emsland (52.47N 7.32E), Neckarwestheim 2 (49.03N 9.17E). Wind: ~68 GW, Solar: ~81 GW. Pre-2022: ~55% gas from Russia. Emergency response: 4 FSRUs in 12 months — Wilhelmshaven (53.52N 8.15E, December 2022 Germany's first LNG terminal), Brunsbüttel (53.90N 9.23E), Lubmin (54.14N 13.62E). By end-2023 Russian gas dependence <5%. BASF Ludwigshafen (49.48N 8.44E, world's largest chemical complex) announced downsizing citing energy costs. ThyssenKrupp Duisburg (51.49N 6.82E) trialling hydrogen DRI steel. 2045 climate neutrality target. Dunkelflaute: extended low wind+solar periods in winter require firm backup. Household electricity ~€0.30-0.38/kWh among Europe's highest. Sources: Fraunhofer ISE Energy-Charts 2024, Bundesnetzagentur 2024.
