∙ 14y ago
According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), in 2008, the U.S. wind energy industry brought online approximately 8,500 megawatts (MW) of new wind power capacity. This production will help avoid nearly 44 million tons of carbon emissions the equivalent of taking 7 million cars off the road. Therefore,
for every megawatt of installed capacity, a wind farm can potentially earn approximately 5,175 tons of CO2e
the equivalent of taxing approximately 820 cars off the road.

How many carbon credits will 1 megawatt of solar power generation everyday earn?
One
How many units in one megawatt of electricity?
A megawatt is one million watts. One watt is a unit of electrical power.
How many gallons are in one megawatt?
Gallons are a measure of volume. Megawatt is a measure of power. The two are not automatically convertible without some other rate.
How many 100W bulbs run from 1 megawatt power station?
10000
How many watts in a gigawatts?
1000. A megawatt-hour is the energy you'd get with a megawatt of power for 1 hour. Energy = power * time. It's important to note that it's 'megawatt hour' and not megawatt/hour (ie. it's not megawatt per hour).A gigawatt has 1000 times the power of a megawatt. Thus, since the time is the same (both 1 hour), a gigawatt-hour = 1000 megawatt hours.
How many watts to the power of 10 are in one megawatt?
1 MW is 106 watts.
How many carbon credits will 1kwh of solar power generation everyday earn?
1 kw of solar power with a average of 5.5 hours of sunlight per day will produce 1 carbon credit per year. 1 carbon credit is equal to 1 ton of carbon dioxide offset. Gary Waren
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 minutes are in a nuclear megawatt?
None. First, a megawatt is a megawatt - whether it is nuclear or not. Second, a megawatt is a measure of power while a minute is either a measure of time or of angular displacement. In either case, a watt and a minute measure two different things and, according to the basic rules of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
How many kilowatts a hour does a dam produce?
Most power plants produce several Megawatts of power. A Megawatt is one million watts.
How many kilowatts in a megowatt?
There are 1,000 kilowatts in a single megawatt. These are measures of electrical power which are based on the metric system.
How many kilo watts are in 0.5MW?
1 megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts0.5 megawatt = 500 kilowatts
