Wind Power was the second biggest contributor after coal accounting for 24.1% of the german power production and solar pv contributed 10.6%. On the heating side the situation looks much worse.

Giant Data Center planned and approved in 100 days less than 2 miles away from famous rhine falls in Schaffhausen
2023/03/09Schaffhausen, at the rhine falls in Switzerland - The data centers in the village of Behringen almost covers 8,000 square metres of ground and will consumate 350 GWh a year including 88 GWh access heat that theoretically could be used for district heating or used for industrial purposes. The entire canton where it is being build currently uses 481 GWh a year.
In order to meet the tremendous energy need a new hydro power plant is planned above the rhine falls using a good part of the water for its turbines.
According to just released study of Energy Switzerland a total of 2.1 TWh equivalent to 3.6% of the total Swiss power consumption are used for datacenters. Also in this study it is mentioned that the entire Swiss public transports 2021 represented 8.3% of the total Swiss Power consumption.
1,013,009 electric (passenger) cars in Germany as of 1 Jan 2023, an yoy increase of 64% or 395,000 new e-cars - but far too little
2023/03/04FAZ, Frankfurt - 2.65 million new (passenger) cars were registered in Germany in 2022. Mercedes alone sells more than 2 million cars a year. And more than 45 million fuel powered cars are driving around in Germany. The government`s ambition to have 15 million electric cars by 2030 means 1.75 million new electric cars per year. In other words, very soon, Germany would have to register only electric cars. Leave aside the 5 million fuel based bike and the 3.6 million trucks.

EBIT from renewables were up 37% to €1.63bn while EBIT from thermal energy was up 50% to €1.77bn. EBIT from nuclear energy was up just 7% to €1bn, while "Others" (mainly trading and hedging) EBIT was a staggering €1.85bn, up from minus €0.1bn in 2021.
