It's a question of scale. A gigaWatt is 1000 megaWatts, so if you subtract one, you are left with 999 megaWatts.

What is the next category higher than kilowatt-hours and megawatt-hours?

The next category higher than megawatt-hours is gigawatt-hours.


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 much is terrawatt hour?

a kilowatt is 1000 watts a megawatt is 1000000 watts a gigawatt is 1000000000 watts a terrawatt is 1000000000000 or a million million watts


What is the difference between Gigawatts hour and Megawatts?

A gigawatt-hour is a unit of energy equal to one billion watt-hours, while a megawatt is a unit of power equal to one million watts. The main difference is that gigawatt-hour measures energy capacity over time, whereas megawatts measure power output at a specific moment.

How many kilowatts per month does a nuclear power plant produce?

The correct term is kilowatt-hour, or some multiple of that. One plant that I worked at could net 800 megawatts, so that would be about 576 gigawatt-hours, in a 30 day month. Some plants are larger. I know of some 1,200 megawatt plants, and that would be scaled accordingly, as 864 gigawatt-hours, both assuming continuous operation at full power. Scaled to the units requested in the original question, that 800 megawatt plant would be 800,000 kilowatt-months, and the 1,200 megawatt plant would be 1,200,000 kilowatt-months.


What is the abbreviation of 'megawatt'?

How many homes can a gigawatt power and for how long?

The number of homes a gigawatt can power depends on the energy consumption of each home. On average, a gigawatt can power around 700,000 homes for one hour.


How are watt mega-watt giga-watt defined?

A megawatt is 1000 kilowatts (also equal to 1341 horse power) or 1*10^6 watts, a gigawatt is 1000 megawatts. A watt is equal to one joule per second and a joule is defined as the amount of work done when 1 ampre of electrical current is passed through 1 ohm of resistance. Ohm is defined as the amount of electrical resistance of a conductor in which 1 ampre of current is produced by a potential of 1 volt across its terminals.
