It might not be complete nonsense.
If you map energy -> power the paragraph actually says something sensible.
It could have been worse: if they'd said something like "500 megawatts per week" it would be completely unclear what they even mean. Should you map it to megawatt-hours / week (around 3 MW), because that's a common (kind of goofy) unit to work in? Or does it mean they use (on average) 500 MW?
