Germany’s energy consumption falls despite cold weather

Despite colder temperatures in 2025, Germany’s energy consumption declined slightly. According to the Working Group on Energy Balances (AGEB), primary energy consumption dropped by 0.1 percent compared to the previous year. Analysts noted that without the impact of cold weather, the decline would have been around 1.2 percent.

Experts attribute this development to improved energy efficiency, changes in consumer behavior, and a growing share of renewable energy sources. The figures highlight Germany’s ability to stabilize energy use even under challenging weather conditions.
