I can never guess when they write about grid storage, because almost always the unit used is watts, but it can mean whatever.

With storage the watts are also important because it is a measure of how much power it can replace from other power plant sources which are also measured in watts. Admittedly, the time it will last is omitted, so a full energy calculation can't be done, but at least you know how many dirty peaker plants it replaces.
