# 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.
