"44,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year"

... what?

get rid of the hours and it makes perfect, albeit grammatically incorrect sense. Looks like some journalist is having a bad day.

MW*h/y

hum... the sentence is perfectly correct.
Megawatt is a unit for power.
megawatt-hour is a unit for energy.
GTFO.

The linked site is something related to the actual project not written by a reporter.

Reading between the lines it's a system that provides upto 44MW/hour in ideal conditions, just grinds my gears that they put the extra shit there to try and sound smart for some reason.

44MW-hours of electricity in a year? For a major solar project? I know solar is bad but I'd hope it's not that useless.

joule/second * hours/year.

Neat unit.

Did you read this article? It's just an addition to a usual coal power plant, which produce 44000MW*h (44GW*h) of energy. That's about 5MW power on average, which is definetly not bad for several ha of solar planes (for comparison, one modern nuclear reactor provides about 1000 MW of power).
