How many watts does it take to power an average city city?

Answer 1

The power requirement is 3 kVA per house so if there are 100,000 houses the requirement is 300 MVA, but about 50% extra should be added for average shops and factories.

Answer 2

The amount of power needed to run an average city can vary significantly based on the city size, population, and energy demands. A small city may require around 50-100 megawatts (MW) of power, while a large city could need several gigawatts (GW) of power.

Answer 3

Approximately 2000 watts per household.
if 500,000 households then 500,000x2000=1,000,000,000
that one billion. a million kilowatts.
Plus industry uses on top.which are big.
