I can see the misunderstanding. One is the installed capacity (ie the
amount of generators), the other is the amount generated during the year.
So an installed capacity of 2 Terawatts will over the course of a year
if run 24 hours a day will produce 2 x 24 x 365 Terawatt hours = 17,520
Terawatthours.
Of course they don't all run 24 hours a day, or 365 days a year.
