That doesn't quite make sense. Watt, and therefore megawatt, is a unit of power, not a unit of energy. Therefore, the total megawatts are more or less the same in a day as they are in a month or in a year.
To calculate the power needed to supply a city for 10 minutes, you would need to know the average power consumption of the city in megawatts. Once you have the average power consumption, you can multiply it by 10 minutes to determine the total energy required.
The amount of power generated by a wind turbine depends on its size and the wind conditions at the location. A typical onshore wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 megawatts can generate enough electricity to power around 1,000-1,500 average homes annually. Offshore wind turbines are larger and can generate even more power.
This varies based on the configuration of a particular turbine, as they range is size and scale, and the wind density at a particular location. Typical turbines vary in output from a few watts to megawatts.
It is now 2009 so this question is out of date
The amount of energy produced by wind depends on various factors such as wind speed, turbine size, and location. On average, a single wind turbine can generate enough electricity to power around 1200 households per year. Overall, wind energy contributes around 8% of the total electricity generation in the United States.
The amount of megawatts produced by a biomass facility each year can vary depending on the size and efficiency of the plant. A typical biomass power plant can generate anywhere from 20 to 300 megawatts annually.
How much what is generated each year
The average household in the United States uses about 8,900 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. That is 8.9 megawatts. So 781/8.9 = 87 homes.
The worlds largest wind turbine creates seven-plus megawatts per year.

1 terawatt-hour per year = 114 megawatts1 TWh/year = 114 MWor1.14 X 108 WattThe unit "terawatt-hour per year" is a convoluted method of saying (what calculates to) 114 megawatts.1 megawatt =106 wattsThe year and the hour are different units of time. They are related to each other:1 year = 8 765.81277 hoursterawatt = 1012 wattsTherefore(1012 watts X 1/8765.8 year)/year = 1.14 X 108 Watt = 114 X 106 watts = 114 Megawatts
