At least one of those terms is wrong.
It's the right term, that's the output of the facility. From Wikipedia: "The system is capable of producing 182.5 MW for four hours, for a total of 730 MWh of capacity."
See, that makes a lot more sense if that is the output, not the storage. As I said, at least one of those terms was incorrect.
It says “energy storage” because that is the purpose of the facility. It’s not an “energy output” facility. The sentence they wrote is correct.
It is a storage facility, certainly, but it does not store megawatts. Megawatt-hours, sure, but that isn't the same thing.
