Power plants are often described in terms of (max) power output, i.e., contribution to the grid. So, I can see how it might confuse a writer to then also talk about storage inadvertently.

But also, the second paragraph already describes the 100 MWh vs MW nuance.

It is not a nuance in an article that focuses on storage from the supposed premier professional association. As an engineer I would expect typical energy content (median/average) of the top 10 hydro pump projects and also some discussion about the availability of suitable sites. I think one should strive for at least high school level physics. There is no need to push out texts that can be easily surpassed by any current llm.
