Capacity is not measured output, right?

No. Capacity is reported in Watts, but usage is reported in Watt-hours.

While coal has considerably less capacity (~60%) than renewables, but coal generates nearly as many kilowatt hours as renewables do.

Annoyingly the charts are misleading as generating capacity separates hydro from other renewables, yet actual generation figures combine the two.
