What the source says
Under IRENA’s revised 1.5°C Scenario, electricity rises from around 23% of global final energy consumption today to 35% by 2035 and above 50% by 2050, becoming the dominant global energy carrier.
Checked: the figure 23%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
