The "watt" ... (and also the milliwatt, Kilowatt, Megawatt, Gigawatt) ... are rates or speeds

of producing or using energy.

One Watt means 1 joule of energy per second.

2000 MegaWatts means 2000 Megajoules of energy per second.

That's the rate or speed at which it produces energy. Continuously.

If it runs for 1 hour at 2000 MW, it produces 7,200 Gigajoules of energy.

If it runs for 1 day at 2000MW, it produces 172,800 Gigajoules of energy.

and so on.
