Agorameter

This diagram shows the development of absolute (left axis) and relative emissions per kilowatt hour (right axis) of electricity generation in Germany. The emissions relate only to the quantities of electricity generated in Germany. Electricity exports are therefore included, while emissions caused by electricity imports are accounted for in the respective country in which the imported electricity was generated. The emission factor of the electricity mix shown also refers to the electricity generated in Germany, not to the electricity consumed.

This chart tracks changes in electricity generation from conventional power plants. Additionally, the CO₂ emissions caused by conventional power generation are presented.

This chart tracks changes in Germany’s electricity imports and exports. The data are broken down for all neighbouring countries that have cross-border interconnections with the German grid.

This chart tracks changes in electricity generation and consumption, as well as the spot market price on the European Power Exchange (EPEX).
When generation output falls below the demand curve, then Germany is a net power importer.

This chart tracks the interaction of the spot market price on the European Power Exchange (EPEX) and the share of renewable energies in the electricity mix.
If you are using the Agorameter from another time zone than CET, please note that the Agorameter uses your computer’s local time.

Here you can compare all data directly. Please not that due to the limited size of the charts only short periods of time should be displayed.

This chart tracks changes in power consumption as well as in the production of power from conventional and renewable sources (broken down by solar, wind, water, and biomass). Clicking on the grey legend items displays the share contributed by conventional sources.
When generation output exceeds the demand curve (the red line), then Germany exports electricity, leading to a net export situation. When generation output falls below the demand curve, then Germany is a net power importer.
The default view is a two-day time range. You can adjust the chart to view a time range of your choice. The earliest possible starting date is 01.01.2012. Note that the European date format is used (day, month, year).
The default time resolution is 1 hour. You can reduce the temporal resolution to daily or monthly averages to ensure that the chart is displayed quickly and clearly even for longer periods of time. In general, the time required to process and display a given chart increases as the time range grows larger and the resolution gets more detailed.
On the "Data" button you have the possibility to download the displayed data (csv). To obtain a high-resolution vector image as a pdfF, please click on the menu symbol to the bottom right of the chart.
Hover with the mouse over each curve to obtain precise data for specific points in time. By clicking on the items in the legend you can switch individual elements in the figure on and off.
If you are using the Agorameter from another time zone than CET, please note that the Agorameter uses your computer’s local time.

This chart tracks the development of the power exchange balance and the spot market price on the European Power Exchange (EPEX).
