Publicly accessible charging points for electric cars per 10,000 residents, placed by their coordinates. Ladesäulenregister of the Bundesnetzagentur: only points whose registration is complete.

Installed capacity of solar, onshore wind, biomass and hydro power in operation per resident, where the units stand. Capacity, not generation: a kilowatt of wind yields about twice as much electricity in a year as a kilowatt of solar. Over time: the units in operation at the end of each year, the last point at the register’s newest state, per resident of 2023. Wind turbines taken down before the register began (2019) are often missing: the early years are too low, before 2010 markedly.

Installed solar capacity in operation (peak power of the modules) per resident, wherever it stands: rooftops and solar parks. Over time: the units in operation at the end of each year, the last point at the register’s newest state, per resident of 2023.

Installed onshore wind capacity in operation per resident, where the turbines stand. Offshore wind farms belong to no area on the map. Over time: the units in operation at the end of each year, the last point at the register’s newest state, per resident of 2023. The register began in 2019: turbines taken down before then are often missing, so the early years are too low (2000: about half of the wind capacity of the time, 2010: nine tenths; from 2015 nearly all).

Settlement and transport area added per year from 2019 to 2023, per resident. Ground-mounted solar parks count as settlement area, so new solar parks raise the value. When a Land reclassifies its land register, areas can seem to shrink (Hessen 2022). Earlier years are left out: the switch to a new register made areas jump.
