1 TW of capacity. Meaning if all the wind turbines are collecting the maximum that they can, 1 TW is the power we get.

If you need a time unit, think of it as 1 TWh every hour.

I believe it's a measure of rated output power. The article's headline confusingly refers to energy.

One year's worth of power generation.

That's not the unit used. It could be instantaneous maximum, mean, or some other fiction.

I stand corrected. I got confused between 'nameplate capacity' & 'capacity factor'.
