I started writing the comment before looking at the chart

however

nuclear capacity fell by 8GW

natural gas grew by 4GW

and the charts only explain the capacity

unlikely the renewables can replace nuclear in that sense

of course, saying that the historical shutdown of nuclear was replaced by fossil fuels I mean in the same and following year.

If Germany keeps betting big on renewable after that and it's currently producing 41% it's a different story
