According to the IEA, in 2024 renewables accounted for 38% of new energy generation, and 32% of new electricity generation. That's a vere big discrepancy from the 92.5% cited in this report, which refers to "renewable power capacity,"defined as:
the maximum net generating capacity of power plants and other installations that use renewable energy sources to produce electricity.
So it seems like that number might be referring to potential, not actual (?) use. But maybe someone more familiar with these terms can weigh in here.
The 32% is the share of all not just new renewable electricity generation. The growt of clean electricity generation was 80% with most of that being wind and solar.
