AP quotes 2023 data from Ember, Wikipedia quotes mainly 2021 data from IRENA so numbers aren't identical but for Brazil and Canada the numbers are plausible (didn't check the rest). I do remember that Denmark is now at more than 85%, mainly wind energy.

As always with % they don't give the full picture.
