An energy comparison: a semi tanker of gasoline hauls about 300 MWh of chemical energy potential.

That must be the total capacity and response time.

Nope. Total capacity is going to be 2.1GWh. The peak power will be 1.2GW, and milliseconds is the response time of the system. [1]

I would assume it's a typo on GWh. It seems probable to me that the battery can supply/absorb 1.2GW on a millisecond response time, so it would be able to fully charge/discharge in a little less than 2hours, supplying/absorbing 1.2GW with 2.1GWh total capacity.
