No. It's the average electric-power generation. The installed capacity would be the average generation multiplied by the capacity factor.

> 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.

Yes.
