It’s not “storage capacity”, it’s “energy storage capacity”. Think of it like “sources of power”. Source 1 is nuclear, Source 2 is Hydro, Source 3 is Energy Storage.

What are our power sources available to the grid today? Nuclear, Hydro, Energy Storage.

What are the capacities?

Nuclear capacity is 1 GW

Hydro capacity is 1 GW

Energy storage capacity is 2 GW
