How to Convert Watt to Megawatt

1 watt = 1 × 10-6 megawatts

Megawatt = Watt × 1 × 10-6

Example: 1000000 W × 1 × 10-6 = 1 MW

Reverse Conversion

To convert megawatts back to watts:

  • Remember, 1 megawatt equals 1000000 watts.
  • To convert 1 MW to W, multiply 1 x 1000000, resulting in 1000000 W.

1000000 W is also equal to:

  • 1000 kilowatt
  • 1340.5 horsepower (electric)
