Answer

KiloWatt hours. Its a measure of energy use. It is the amount of power used over time.

Energy is the ability to do work, while power is the rate at which work is done.

Your water heater may have a power rating of 5 kW. If it runs for 8 hours in a day, you would use 40 kWh of energy doing the work of heating the water.

How much energy do you need to build a small town of about 500 people?

If the town has natural gas for heating, then the power needed per household is between 5 kW and 10 kW. If only electric heat is available, then the combination of electric resistance (auxiliary - from 7 to 10 kW for small residential units) heating, combined with electric clothes dryer (from 2 to 5 kW), electric water heater (from 2.5 to 7.5 kW), and stove (5 kW to 7.5 kW) totaling a min of 15 kW to a max of 20 kW. That would put the max power requirements between 5,000 kW and 10,000 kW. As a matter of reality, a diversity factor of .6 to .7 would reduce the max power to 3,500 kW and 7,000 kW.
