That last bit quoted above makes no sense at all, the 6MW part, unless
they mean it can discharge at the 6MW rate. In which case what is the
capacity of the storage in watt/hours?

I think they mean 6MWh. A rough ballpark is 1MWh per 40' container, and
their aerial photo shows five, so that's about right.


You may be right, but it doesn't inspire confidence if their publicity
department doesn't have the technical savvy to use the correct units.


O-level education, you mean?


In 'media studies' or some such.


Or 'Fine Art'. ;-)
