What the source says

China stands out: it accounted for 60% of the new renewable capacity added worldwide in 2023 – and China’s solar PV generation alone is on course to exceed, by the early 2030s, the total electricity demand of the United States today.

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 60% is directly attested in the quoted passage (How fast will clean energy transitions unfold?).

The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
