That happens when the person writing the article has no clue as to what they are writing about. Seems oddly common in journalism.

Driven a lot by intentionally deceitful marketing too IMO. The PR person at the company behind whatever storage project only quotes those numbers in these terms (enough to power 50,000 homes) because they sound impressive, and as you say the journalist doesn’t know better so they then print it like that.
