What is the fastest, new renewable power capacity any country has at any time build, in added W/year/capita? In both nominal and actual power generation? Or the fastest you can see or hope will happen in near future?
Sweden built 10850MW nuclear in 20 years from 1965 to 1985. This means about 68W per year per capita. How do the already existing, and potential future endeavors in building renewal capacity compare to this number?
The number is nominal, but for nuclear I'd guess the actual long term power output is about 90% of the nominal.
