Some relevant numbers (TWh) from that graphic:

                2002    2018
    Total        503     545
    Coal + Oil   253     205
    Gas           40      44
    Nuclear      156      72

So, they've successfully got rid of about 50% of nuclear and 20% of coal by adding a very small amount of gas generation. Presumably the rest is coming from renewables. Sounds like a pretty good progress report.

No reason not to complete the picture, I guess:

                    2002    2018

    Total            503     545

    Coal+Oil         253     205
    Nuclear          156      72

    Gas               40      44
    Biomass            4      45

    Wind+Solar+Hydro  39     177
