About These Units
Megawatt (MW)
A megawatt (MW) equals 1,000 kilowatts or 1 million watts. Megawatts measure power plant capacity (nuclear: 1,000 MW, wind turbine: 2-5 MW), large industrial facilities, and electricity grid capacity. One MW can power about 750-1,000 homes.
BTU per Hour (BTU/h)
BTU per hour (BTU/h or BTUH) measures heating and cooling capacity. Air conditioners are rated in BTU/h (window unit: 5,000-12,000 BTU/h, central AC: 24,000-60,000 BTU/h). Furnaces range from 40,000-200,000 BTU/h. One BTU/h equals 0.293 watts.
