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.
"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 power2.5 x 109 / 103 = 2.5 million homes.
According to the lists on the internet one pressurized water reactor can supply between 300 and 3000 Megawatts.
About a million homes.
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.
1.2 million homes
The average household in the United States uses about 8,900 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. That is 8.9 megawatts. So 781/8.9 = 87 homes.

Nothing.

A standard power station produces something like 500 megawatts. A standard wind turbine produces about 5 megawatts.
The same amount of megawatts as it takes to power it for a second, a minute, an hour, or a year. A watt, or a megawatt (million watts), is a unit of power, not of energy.

The Sun's power (about 386 billion billion megaWatts) is produced by nuclear fusion reactions. Please see related link for full information.
15000 acres = 653,400,000 sq ft So 653400000/3000 = 217,800 homes of 3000 sq ft each will fit. But most of them will have no access, because the homes will use up all the acreage.
