It isn't.

That totally precludes the notion of instantaneous energy.
It is a very simple relationship. I don't know why you have such difficulty with it.
Nothing difficult at all and it doesn't preclude anything. The notion of instantaneous is not mutually exclusive to energy or power, which is an aside. It's just a frame of reference that's all. The word instantaneous can be applied to anything. It's a mute point and also irrelevant to the article, which is discussing average power over the year.
