What the source says
This record performance in 2016 forms the bedrock of the IEA’s electricity forecast, which sees continued strong growth through 2022, with renewable electricity capacity forecast to expand by over 920 GW, an increase of 43%.
Checked: the figure 920 gigawatts is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
