Currently "grid expansion is 6,000 kilometres and seven years behind schedule."
Renewable energies will account for more than 60 % of gross electricity consumption.
Germany's net electricity generation was slighter lower in 2022 due to a drop in consumption. The share of renewables in gross electricity consumption was 45%, up from 40% in 2021. –Monitoring report 2023 from Bundesnetzagentur
I assume this is the metric we aim for with "total energy consumption".
