Figures are nameplate capacity from public records of grid-connected utility plants, not output: the live dashboard data and time-of-day profile show what actually runs. The newest wind and solar projects reach public registers late, so recent additions may be missing. Rooftop solar sits behind the meter and is not part of the utility fleet.
