The energy generated flows into power lines run by grid operator N-Ergie, which then distributes it on the network.

But in sunny weather, the power lines are becoming overloaded -- leading the grid operator to cut off supply from the solar panels.

As a result, Berlin has been scrambling for alternative sources across the world to replace the shortfall. "The number of interventions and the amount of curtailed energy have increased continuously in recent years" as a result, according to N-Ergie spokesman Michael Enderlein. Some 6.1 terawatt hours of electricity from renewables had to be curtailed in 2020, according to the most recent figures available.With an average consumption of around 2,500-kilowatt hours per year in a two-person household, this would have been enough to power around 2.4 million households.
