What the source says
Considering existing policies and market conditions, our main case sees 5 500 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable capacity becoming operational by 2030.
Checked: the figure 5,500 billion watts is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
