"Watts" is a rate of using energy, not an amount of energy.
A broad-brush ballpark average rate of energy use by a household,
averaged over a very long period of time, is something like 1,000 watts.
So 2,500 megawatts of power is the rate needed to power
2.5 x 109 / 103 = 2.5 million homes.

How many homes can 3000 megawatts power?
3,000,000
About how many homes will 102 megawatts power?
Average power consumption for a person in the UK is 650 W. Assuming an average load of 3 kW per household 102 MW would power about 34,000 homes, sometimes more, sometimes less.
How many homes can a gigawatt power and for how long?
About a million homes.
How many watts makes a terawatt?
1,000,000 megawatts or 1x10^12 watts which is 1,000,000,000,000 watts. The average laptop uses 15 to 60 watts to put that number in perspective.
How many megawatts do tidal turbines produce in day?
A typical nuclear power plant produces 500 to 5000 megawatts of power. If we take 2000 as average, an average plant produces 2000 megawatt hours in an hour, or 48,000 megawatt hours in a day. But please note: Technically, this does not answer the question asked, because the question asked for megawatts, not megawatt hours. The question as asked is like asking how many horsepower a car can produce in a day. The measure of electrical output over a period of time is a watt hour, or, in this case, the megawatt hour. So the question answered was, "How many megawatt hours does a nuclear power plant make in a day?"
How many homes can 3000 megawatts power?
