What the source says

Under an accelerated case – where government policy lifts barriers to growth – IEA analysis finds that renewable capacity growth could be boosted by another 30%, totalling an extra 1,150 GW by 2022 led by China.

Checked: the figure 1,150 gigawatts is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
