Any idea what fraction of our total power consumed is from renewables?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_Australia

In 2021, Australia's electricity production reached 265 TWh, with coal accounting for 52.9% and natural gas for 18.8%. Renewable sources, comprising solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy with waste, collectively made up 26.7% of the total electricity generation mix

If you want to get excited though, check the rapid rise of renewables.
