Megawatts to watts converter
Watts (W)
1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts
How to convert megawatts to watts
W = MW × 1000000
Multiply the number of megawatts by 1000000 to get watts. Going the other way, divide by 1000000 (or multiply by 0.000001).
One megawatt is exactly defined as 1000000 watts (to 12 significant figures), and one watt is 0.000001 megawatts.
Worked examples
- Convert 5 megawatts: 5 × 1000000 = 5,000,000 5,000,000 watts.
- Convert 12.5 megawatts: 12.5 × 1000000 = 12,500,000 12,500,000 watts.
- Convert 250 megawatts: 250 × 1000000 = 250,000,000 250,000,000 watts.
