Several of the Lemmy apps have relevant features - e.g. the ‘Connect’ app has a topic filter that you can add words to.

Connect also let’s you block instances, like Lemmygrad and ExplodingHeads

Cool, but too bad the quality of this article is bad. GW is not capacity, do they actually mean GWh? Or do they mean peak GW power output. Impossible to tell from this poorly written article.

I work with Solar and on one site we had an inverter with an RGM inside that was recording the production and consumption as both being production. So the customer calls us asking if it’s normal to generate 10 MWh of electricity in a month. I was like, no that’s gotta be some kind of glitch 😅

“Installed generating capacity” (yes, peak output) it’s at the top of the second list in en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_pumped-storage_hydroel… - so this would be the 3rd largest in the world

I was thinking the same thing. But on closer reading I see the article makes comparison to renewable energy production capacity in the area. So I think by “capacity” they do mean power, as in the project’s contribution to the grid’s power delivery capacity.
All of the information I found on this project comes from an article from the [South China Morning Post] (scmp.com/…/china-breaks-ground-major-project-coul…). The Interesting Engineering article copies some passages, including the source article’s choices of the word “capacity”, and the use of “20 million kilowatt hours”.
