According to an article on Handelsblatt.de (pay-walled; referenced online on focus.de: http://bit.ly/YOq9DA) on 24 March green energy production (solar + wind combined) reached a new record high of 32.9 Gigawatts (GW). The previous record - achieved only last year - was at 31.6 GW. There is no information how long this peak lasted in the article.<p>For comparison: This equals ~60 % of the 2011 nameplate capacity of wind and solar energy in Germany.
