There are, of course, eight artefactual "rays" in the illustrated MIRI 7.7 Â image, (actually more but eight principal ones).
That's slightly more than half of one inch, and even I can see that without my specs.
UK electricity generation in 2018 fell 1.6 percent to 333 TWh, the lowest level since 1996 [1]

A bit of arithmetic
$ echo $((333000/365/24))
38
indicates that that is equivalent to 38 GW, hour in, hour out throughout the year. Peak power capacity is obviously much more than that.
