Renewable is not constant

Resources replenish naturally but are not equally available at every moment. Wind and solar output depends on resource availability.

MW is not MWh

MW measures power; MWh measures energy over time. FinFly illustration: a constant 10 MW for two hours produces 20 MWh, not a forecast for any real plant.

Reading a project release

Separate installed capacity, projected annual output and measured production. FinFly recommends checking grid connection and commissioning status, not just ceremony dates.
