Measure and scope
Shares of the ministry's own electricity production, first half of 2026, national as the ministry reports it; category 'الطاقة البديلة' undefined, no hydropower or solar line; supply hours a range 'in most areas', no average, no method
Known conflict
A different measure from the under 1 per cent of 2023 generation (Chapter 8 line 55, IRENA SRC-316 and Karam Shaar Advisory SRC-312) and from the appraisal's 0.4 per cent of intermittent renewables in the supply mix in 2024 (SRC-351); a different measure from the appraisal's national average of two to four hours (SUPPLY-001)

Action
Attribute and date every use; call it a statement, not a measurement; never divide the 10 per cent between hydro, solar and wind; never set the 8 to 20 hours against the appraisal's average as a trend without naming the two measures.
