Megawatts to watts

1 megawatt in watts
1 MW = 1,000,000 W
W = MW × 1,000,000

To convert megawatts to watts, multiply by 1,000,000. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works

The relationship is W = MW × 1,000,000. Both units measure power, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many watts are in one megawatt?
One megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts. W = MW × 1,000,000.
How do you convert megawatts to watts?
Use W = MW × 1,000,000. So 10 MW is 10,000,000 W.
How many megawatts are in one watt?
One watt equals 0.000001 megawatts, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
