Megawatt (MW)
The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to watts:
Megawatts are commonly used to express the power output of medium to large-sized power plants, such as wind farms, solar plants, and small hydroelectric stations. For example, a typical wind turbine might produce around 2 to 3 MW of power.
In practical terms, 1 megawatt can supply electricity to roughly 1,000 average homes.
The megawatt is a convenient scale for measuring electrical generation and consumption on a regional or city level, bridging the gap between smaller household power use (kilowatts) and larger industrial or national-scale power (gigawatts).
