I sincerely doubt this installation has a rated capacity of 36.5 gigawatts. That would be the entire electricity production of the Netherlands I think.

Per year it appears.

Yeah, I figured they messed up Gigawatt and Gigawatthours.

I guess when you say 11MW or 11000kW it just doesn't sound as impressive. I'm pretty sure we now have single wind turbines here in the Netherlands that are rated at more than 11MW.
