This is Germany - solar supply of 47GW at 2pm on that Tuesday, of grid load of 57GW. Solar was still supplying 18.8GW at 5pm. Can you imagine the situation 20 years ago when that solar contribution would have been negligible?

Daily power supply for Germany on June 22 and 23 2026, during a heatwave, from BNEF. On Tuesday, June 23, solar was supplying 47GW out of 58GW load at 2pm - and generally the big yellow chunk is a majority of daytime power demand.
