"Germany's renewable energy sector is among the most innovative and successful worldwide." Obvious puffery. The summary section is too long, and is riddled with blatant PoV.

Germany's primary energy consumption of 1,449 petajoules or 403 terawatt-hours refers to the total energy used by the nation.
Total primary energy consumption was 13218 Petajoule in 2015 (from the same website as quoted source). Renewables made up 12.4% of that, which doesn't correspond to 1449 either. Maybe both description and year are wrong? Prevalence 00:12, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
The figure was never changed, since creation of the section. Also the other numbers in the section were wrong. Maybe the source changed after the numbers were extracted from it. It should be fixed now.

Net-generation from renewable energy sources in the German electricity sector has increased from 6.3% in 2000 to about 34% in 2016.
The figure for 2016 from the Fraunhofer Institute represents net electricity generation. I could not find a source for the figure from 2000. The only number i found, which comes close to it, is the gross electricity consumption from 2000 (6,2%).
We could split this up and mention both consumption and generation like the articles on other countries do, however i don't have a number for the net electricity generation in the year 2000, if the figure in the article is indeed wrong. -- Remotalius (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
