Sweden's doing pretty well, for sure .. but your assessment seems to be ahead of the IEA's ...

Renewables: 66.9% share of power generation, 2022

Sweden's wind is projected to grow: https://balticwind.eu/swedens-wind-power-surge-a-positive-ou...

but Sweden's grid demand is also projected to rise: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/swedish-power-demand...

I'm not sure Sweden's at the 90+% mark yet ... and besides, that's not counting energy demand in the transport sector and non power generation applications.

I'm counting nuclear in the 90+% of electricity (not energy in general where oil will count), not renewable though I agree, more like non-CO2 emitting.
Fair enough - thanks for the clarification.
