There is a link to a well respected statistics site right above the line you are quoting, so if you don't know where the figures are coming from, that says a lot.

The data don't come from "statista.com", that's just where the graph is hosted. Clicking on the "sources" link, to see where the data actually came from, brings up a paywall.

So, no, it is not clear where these data actually come from, it's not straightforward to find out without paying, and my point, about the IEA being very, very wrong in its projections about renewable energy for more than a decade, still stands.

The source is available without paying, you could have had asked. "I don't know where these figures come from" isn't a question, it's the start of a bad faith argument.

As for your claim about the IEA, you're welcome to post some source to back that claim, other readers may be interested.
