Note that a graph like this represents the overall volume of generation of each type over each year. That is crucially different from the instantaneous power generated from one hour to the next. The latter can vary enormously with demand at different times of day and variable availability of renewables. Keeping the lights on requires blending power sources as available, so gas burning may be high when renewables are low. However the long term volume of generation is a proxy for how much…
