Smartphone: 2-6 W
LED Light: 5-15 W
Laptop: 50-100 W
Kilowatts (kW)
Microwave: 1-2 kW
Electric car: 50-200 kW
Small business: 10-40 kW
Megawatts (MW)
Wind turbine: 2-5 MW
Hospital: 5-15 MW
Small town: 10-50 MW
Gigawatts (GW)

Power Unit Reference:
1 gigawatt (GW) = 1,000,000,000 watts
1 megawatt (MW) = 1,000,000 watts
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 watts
1 watt (W) = base SI unit of power

1MW = 1000000W

1W = 0.000001MW

Megawatts to watts conversion formula

The power in watts P(W) is equal to 1000000 times the power in megawatts P(MW):

P(W) = 1000000 × P(MW)

Example

Convert 3MW to watts:

P(W) = 1000000 × 3MW = 3000000W
