Overview

• Berlin’s Masterplan Solarcity sets a requirement that at least a quarter of electricity generated in the city come from solar by 2035.
• By the end of 2024, solar supplied 4.7% of Berlin’s electricity with just under 42,000 systems totaling 380 MWp.
• The 2024 interim target of a 3.5% solar share outlined in the Masterplan was surpassed.
• Fraunhofer ISE and Berlin’s economic administration consider the 2035 goal feasible but say many more installations are needed.
• Economics Senator Franziska Giffey has described the effort required to hit the target as a huge challenge.
