Watts, kilowatts, megawatts, gigawatts are the units for electricity. The smallest unit is watts, if you consider 1000 W then it is 1 kW. 1000 kW = 1 MW and 1000 MW = 1 GW.
Additional Answer'Consumption' is a measure of how much energy you have purchased from your electricity utility. The SI unit of energy is the joule, but this is a very small quantity, so electricity utilities use kilowatt hours (kW.h) instead of joules.
The rate at which you use energy is called power, and is measured in watts (W). But you are not charged for the rate at which you use energy, only the amount of energy used.
'Capacity', in the sense of 'generating capacity', is a measure of the rate at which a power station produces energy. In other words, the power of the generating station, and is normally measured in megawatts (MW).

How much energy does a central air conditioner use?
Energy consumption depends on the capacity and efficiency rating or SEER of the unit. For instance a five ton unit uses more energy than a 3 ton unit with the same SEER rating and a 16 SEER unit uses less energy than a 10 SEER unit of the same capacity. See www.energystar.com for more info
