It generates ~1 TWh per year or about 20% of SFs power. Power generation capacity is always in watts but it also doesn't run at 100% all the time.

Ah. So I should have done something like

  395MW * 8760hr = 3,640,200 MWh
to figure out roughly the maximum possible annual demand that could be served by the system? (For the purposes of this question, I'm just doing the -er- dimensional/unit/whatever analysis and ignoring production-capacity-reducing factors that you'd definitely have to factor in to get the real number.)

If so, what a boneheaded, rookie mistake by me. Thanks for the reply.

Yep, that is the correct calculation for the max output.
