The share of renewable energy in Australia”s main grid soared to a new record of 68.7 per cent on Friday, easily beating the previous record of 64.1 per cent set on September 18.
The Australian Energy Market Operator says the new “instantaneous” renewable generation record was set 12:30pm, and was a 4.6% increase from the previous milestone set just a month earlier.
It also appears to be a new record for variable renewable energy – wind and solar – with an instantaneous share of 64 per cent

Why are you splitting percent into two words?

The spellings per cent and percent are both correct. The two-word spelling is more common in Canada and Britain, while the one-word spelling is preferred in the United States.

Compare "per capita" with "percapita". Which makes more sense? Per cent is per 100.

Sure, but how many coffee beans per cent can I buy? Just another one of these silly things in the English language.

Haha. Ask a legitimate question and get downvoted to oblivion. Reddit combined with pompous euros is incredible. First i'm hearing of per cent too.
The only response to questions is punishment American!
