$_{}^{\text{a}}$The computation represents the product of the allowed expansion capacity and the Energy to Power ratio, presented in h.

$_{}^{\text{b}}$The value is the multiplication outcome of the allowed expansion capacity (set at 25.4 GW) and the cumulative hours of the year, which amount to 8760 h.
