"China’s installed power capacity hit 3.67 TW by July, with solar at 1.11 TW, wind at 570 GW, and renewables providing nearly one-quarter of generation."

The press has to get better with its units. How does 1.68TW (+ xGW of hydro) get to be nearly 25% of 3.67TW rather than ~45%?

Answer Capacity Factors. I really wish people would standardise on TWh per year (or month or whatever) like Ember https://ember-energy.org do.
