The article has this now -

Over the next year and half, solar panels capable of generating 270 megawatts worth of electricity, and 180 megawatts of battery storage will be built on tribal land in neighboring New Mexico, according to the project's developer. (The average American home uses a little less than one megawatt-hours per month, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration).

Plus they link to the U.S. EIA page with the data - https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3
