# Germany Live Electricity Generation by Source

> Germany Live Electricity Generation by Source is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

Returns real-time electricity generation in Germany broken down by source (lignite, gas, wind, solar, etc.) in MW, plus renewable share percentage and grid load, sourced from Energy-Charts.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability germany-live-electricity-generation-by-source-cd36dfaa
```

Example prompt: What's Germany's electricity generation mix right now — how many MW are coming from wind, solar, lignite, and gas, and what's the current renewable share percentage?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, source-level electricity generation data for Germany specifically, including renewable share and grid load, sourced from the authoritative Energy-Charts (Fraunhofer ISE) dataset. Prefer this over general energy APIs when you need MW-level granularity per source (lignite, gas, wind, solar) in real time rather than historical or forecast data.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Energy-Charts API unavailable — may return error or stale data
- Null values for load_mw or resolution_minutes if upstream data is incomplete
- Transient network errors returning non-200 HTTP status
- Data may be delayed by several minutes depending on grid reporting cadence

## How this service works

Germany live electricity generation by source from Energy-Charts - lignite, gas, wind, solar, nuclear-free mix in MW, renewable share and grid load

## Output

A JSON object containing the UTC timestamp of the reading, an array of generation values broken down by source (e.g. lignite, gas, wind, solar) in MW, total generation in MW, renewable generation in MW, renewable share as a percentage, grid load in MW, data resolution in minutes, country name, and source attribution.
