Very good news but misleading as it ignores the fact the fossil fuels still have the biggest share in energy (and by a significant margin). Old data, but trend

  Yes right, that's all of the energy, not just the electricity. But this is gross available energy which doesn't take into account that fossil fuels are always used in heat engines i.e. their conversion efficiency is low, 20-50%, while renewables, except biofuels, are electricity directly and their conversion efficiency is close to 100%. If measured as total final consumption, dominance of fossil fuels isn't that big and they are on track to account for less than 50% by 2030, rest being renewables and nuclear electricity/heat. But you are right, getting rid of fossil fuels in electric grid is a short-term task which will probably be done by 2040 or even by 2035 except a couple countries (Poland, Bulgaria, maybe Czech Republic); while getting rid of fossil fuels overall will probably take the entirely of the XXI century.
