English term or phrase: Which the difference between 「電力」 and 「電力量」

Which the difference between 「電力」 and 「電力量」？ I'm translating news about a hydroelectric central of the economic section and I don't know which term to use. It's talking about how much electricity (QWH) was generated during X period. I read that the first one is related to "W" and the second one to "Wh". But I'm also having problems with understanding these units, so it doesn't enlighten me too much.
