Translation of last sentence would be greatly appreciated


Ökologischer und ökonomischer Einsatz von industriellen und biologischen Sondergasen in Gasmotoren

Braun- und Steinkohle werden noch Ende dieses Jahrhunderts eine Renaissance erleben. Mit dem verstärkten Abbau der, verglichen mit Erdöl und Erdgas sehr reichen Kohlevorkommen wird der Nutzung von Grubengas eine noch größere Bedeutung zukommen. Die an einem Standort zu installierenden Motorleistungen werden häufiger 50 MW *elektrisch übersteigen*.
Rachel Taylor
English translation:50 MW of electrical Power
Explanation:
as opposed to chemical power, which may be transformed to mechanical power in Gasmotoren

Falls Gasmotoren über Generatoren elektische Energie erzeugen, dann ist offensichtlich hier die erzeugte Energie angegeben.

agree  Andrew D: exceed the power production of 50MW at a single site

agree  Ken Cox: 'elektrisch' because mechanical power is also often expressed in watts in Germany, instead of horesepower as is more common in English-speaking countries
