That MW figure has no timescale. it is a peak metric from one instant. 53 MW for one second = ~0.015 kWh 53 MW for one hour = ~53 MWh 53 MW continuously for one day = ~1.26 GWh 53 MW continuously for one year = ~462 GWh There is no guessing as to how often that one datacenter operates at peak power consumption.
