Maybe I am wrong but 16 gigawatts in a day doesn’t mean anything? A watt is a joulle per second so shouldn’t it be gigawatts hour per day?
You’re correct. As an EE, I see people and even news outlets get this wrong all the time. If what they mean is 16GW continuous or even peak demand (equivalent to 384 GWh daily) that would be truly massive though.
Thank you vety much🫡
Btw being an electrical engineer sounds awesome.
Its fun :) school was hard though :( but it was worth it
