This is the best summary I could come up with:

German officials opted to shut the country's last remaining reactors in April, as although they generated steady volumes of power with little to no emissions, authorities preferred to expand supplies of renewable energy rather than make additional investments in the nuclear fleet.

However, with generation from solar - Germany's second largest source of clean electricity behind wind - set to plunge this winter due to reduced daylight, Germany's total clean power generation looks set to decline just as energy consumption levels rise from higher demand for heating.

Over the first nine months of 2023, German output of clean and fossil-powered electricity dropped from the same period in 2022, mainly due to stunted power demand from industry.

German output of chemicals and fertilizers - previously manufactured using abundant and cheap natural gas - have slumped to their lowest totals in over a decade in 2023 as producers throttled back production, data compiled by LSEG shows.

Production of cars, steel, batteries and turbines have also been pared back, resulting in an expected rare contraction in Europe's largest economy this year.

However, total German solar electricity generation historically declines by over 80% from September to December, due to sharply reduced daylight hours.
