I think the 8MW was a typo in the article, the link is to an article on the same site discussing an 8GW farm.
But also, 8GW would be the nameplate capacity, (maximum power) you will get maybe a third of that on average depending on clouds, season, and time of day/night.
Still better than nothing, or institutionalized nothing as it is the way in US states
Eh, gigas, megas, close enough
