| Comments | P.141 left column 2nd paragraph: "Total renewable power capacity (not including hydroelectric) grew by a factor of 9.2 from 2000 to 2015, from 85 to 785 gigawatts (GW). Over this same period, solar PV capacity grew by a factor of ∼57, from 4 to 227 GW (BNID 113393). The relative growth rate of solar has also been substantially greater than the growth in demand for electricity (see the first graph)." |
