発電電力量・発電電力

English translation: generated energy/generated power

Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
Japanese term or phrase: 発電電力量・発電電力
The document differentiates 発電電力量 [kwh] from 発電電力 [kw], and also 消費電力量 [kwh] from 消費電力 [kw]. Having googled the terms I understand (kind of) the difference between kilowatt hours and kilowatts, but I'm at a loss as to how to translate these terms so as to indicate the difference in meaning between them while staying fairly close to the Japanese.

English translation:generated energy/generated power
Explanation:
kwh indicates energy while kw indicates power

I would therefore translate 発電電力量 as energy generation or generated energy (kwh) and 発電電力 as power generation or generated power.

The same would apply to 消費電力量, which I would translated as consumed energy or energy consumption, and 消費電力 as consumed power or power consumption.

The reference link I posted explains as follows: energy = power x time.
