They expand under the article (not the clearest visual design though, I thought it was an ad or some "related" section)
The record is for energy generated. They generated the most energy, however they did not generate the most power (unlike the previous record which generated both the most energy and most power) because they were focusing on sustained generation
The sentence "59 megajoules of sustained fusion-energy", where fusion is the source of the energy, doesn't make sense
I think they meant it as "59 megajoules of sustained-fusion energy" where sustained fusion is the focus of the experiment (not sure I managed to get through what I meant and it's worded awfully on the website)
I hope / expect the actual paper/technical reports which will come out will be worded more clearly
