energy-charts.info provides a great overview over electricity generation by sector, renewable share and a lot of other data on the German electricity network. They also provide estimates for the next few hours and scenarios how the electricity network could look like in a few decades.
What is the 3. color from the bottom? The legend is super tiny and the colors everything but high contrast.

Very unfortunate that they don’t have nuclear power anymore
True, although in recent years nuclear didn’t have a very significant effect on the total energy production anymore as most reactors had already been taken offline. It was just a few percent.
Yeah they just closed their last one down not too long ago. Wish they didn’t do that. Now they’re reliant on fossil fuels
