According to data from the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA), newly installed solar electricity generation capacity amounted to 2,328 MWp. This would bring the German PV capacity to about 27.1 GWp by end of April 2012.
The April figures lead to the following table:

The additional 2,328 MWp mean that Germany after only four months is already quite close to its official target corridor of 2,500 to 3,500 MWp for 2012.
It remains to be seen to what extent the additional PV capacity will contribute to an increase in the EEG surcharge.
According to data from www.eeg-kwk.net, by the end of May 2012 the TSOs in 2012 had already paid out EUR 6,024,363,986.29 in feed-in tariffs and EUR 907,796,499.11 for the new EEG market premium (§ 33g EEG), the EEG flexibility premium (§ 33i EEG) and market and flexibility premium transfer payments (§ 35 (1a) EEG). Income from the EEG surcharge in the same period amounted to EUR 6,085,880,308.71.
