  > +389 Change in global electricity demand (TWh) > +416 Change in renewable generation (TWh) > +5 Change in fossil generation (TWh) I'm confused by this, it doesn't add up: change in renewables + fossil generation = +421TWh, so why does it say +389TWh for change in global electricity demand? Is 32TWh just going to waste?
