What the source says

This helps renewable power generation capacity rise from 4 250 GW today to nearly 10 000 GW in 2030 in the STEPS, short of the tripling target set at COP28 but more than enough, in aggregate, to cover the growth in global electricity demand, and to push coal-fired generation into decline.

Checked: the figure 4,250 GW is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
