The 74.4% figure is the cumulative share for the January–August 2026 period; in the month of August alone the renewable share of electricity production was 69.2% (2,298 GWh out of a total 3,320 GWh), lower than the year-to-date average.
The supporting sources (APREN monthly bulletin and news reports) were published in September 2026, just before the session date, so the MEP could have known them.
The 74% is a rounded-down presentation of the exact 74.4% figure.
