About These Units
British Thermal Unit (BTU)
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the energy needed to raise 1 pound of water by 1°F, equal to approximately 1,055 joules. BTUs measure heating/cooling capacity (AC units: 5,000-25,000 BTU), fuel energy content, and HVAC systems. One BTU equals 252 calories.
Megawatt-hour (MWh)
A megawatt-hour (MWh) equals 1,000 kilowatt-hours or 3.6 gigajoules. MWh measures power plant output, large industrial energy use, and utility-scale batteries. An average US home uses about 10.5 MWh annually. Wind turbines produce 2-4 MWh per hour.
