The passage around this formula

The site did not stay at 150 megawatts. By the account maintained by the nonprofit research group Global Energy Monitor, which tracks power-generating assets from public filings and satellite imagery, Colossus 1’s Unit 1 carries an official capacity of 198 megawatts, and the Shelby County Health Department’s air permit — the subject of the next section — authorizes turbines capable of roughly 247.2 megawatts combined [ 6 ] . A second small equation falls directly out of that filing: the permit covers 15 Solar SMT-130 turbine units for a combined 247.2 megawatts, implying an average unit rating of $\bar{P}_{\mathrm{turbine}} = \frac{247.2\ \mathrm{MW}}{15} \approx 16.5\ \mathrm{MW\ per\ unit}$. The Southaven site’s later authorization, covered in the DOJ-intervention…
