Meant to happen, by SLD spec, we have to eat away the spaces.
All you can do to preserve them is to wrap them in a CDATA section:
<se:Label>
<ogc:Function name="Concatenate">
<ogc:PropertyName>NAME</ogc:PropertyName>
<ogc:Literal><![CDATA[ (]]></ogc:Literal>
<ogc:PropertyName>ELEC_2020</ogc:PropertyName>
<ogc:Literal>)</ogc:Literal>
</ogc:Function>
</se:Label>
The CDATA trick should work with SLD 1.0, with SLD 1.1, not sure
Cheers
