Munich, Germany’s third largest city, is making significant progress in decarbonizing its power, with renewables expected to provide for 90% of the city's energy by 2022. The city estimates it is on track to meet its target of meeting all its energy demand with green electricity by 2025.
In and around Munich, the municipal utility Stadtwerke Muenchen (SWM) operates about 60 renewable energy facilities that generate roughly 6.3 billion kWh of electricity, including solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower and biomass plant. This will cover 90% of the city's power needs, including all trams, e-buses, and subway operations.
