I don't think a person could easily say that it would cover 2 parks completely for a year because that's not easy to quantify on several levels.
- There is a difference between MW and MWH. A MW is simply a momentary measure of demand, whereas a MWH is the accumulation of that demand for a period (1 hour) of time.
- So, an attraction or a park using 25 MW at its peak might actually consume 15 MWH over a 24 hour period.
- Similarly, a 50 MW solar farm might produce that at its optimal point in time receiving full direct sun (no clouds/rain) but over a 24 hour period might actually produce only 25 MWH.
- Electricity can not be stored unless you have huge batteries which this installation apparently does not have. So you would have to have coincident peaks of use and production, which may not be realistic.
- RCID's 2017 peak load was ~190 MW. That covers much more than just the theme parks. Its also the resorts, water parks, DS, WWoS, lighting, etc. We don't know just how much a "park" actually uses.
