The 32% is the share of all not just new renewable electricity generation. The growt of clean electricity generation was 80% with most of that being wind and solar.

The IEA states that:

In 2024, 80% of the growth in global electricity generation was provided by renewable sources and nuclear power. Together, they contributed 40% of total generation for the first time, with renewables alone supplying 32%.

So 32% of new electricity generation in 2024 was provided by renewables. In 2023 renewables accounted for about 23% of electricity generation, and 13% of total energy consumption.
