No, "1,000,000 megawatt hours of wind energy annuall."

/ 365 / 24 = 114 MWh per hour on average. Or ~250 MW nameplate power depending on capacity factor.

Ed: They list 253 MW.

They imply 45 cap factor with the 1,000,000 MWh which is expected for Scurry Co and the newer turbines. 1000000/(253*8760) ...rounded ignoring leap year.
