The figures come from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, installed generation capacity aggregated by production type. The year is the one the transmission operator reports for, not the year the figure was published.

Two things are not here: the number of installations per source, and batteries as a source of their own. The aggregated report does not carry them, and batteries fall under “other”. They appear the day the source publishes them separately.
