What the source says

However, projected demand growth of around 2% in the People’s Republic of China (hereafter, “China”), which represents about 28% of global electricity consumption, is still significantly below its average since 2015 of 6.5%.

Checked: the figure 28%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
