MWe stands for Mega Watt Electric. It is the rating of the generator output to the power grid.
Contrast this with MWt, which is Mega Watt Thermal, the rating of the actual reactor core. The ratio of MWe over MWt is overall plant efficiency, and is typically around 33%.
In the US, about 19 percent of total electricity generation, in the world about 16 percent. Most LWR's built in the past produce around 1100 MWe per unit, future build may be up to 1500 MWe per unit.
The largest nuclear power plant in the world is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, with an electrical generating capacity of 8212 MW. There is probably no theoretical maximum, since the number of reactors is rather arbitrary. I have provided a link to the Wikipedia article below.
As of 2007, worldwide there were 439 operational nuclear reactors with total capacity of 372,002 MW; making the average output 846 MW. However, the average new reactor can be expected to be larger. The reactors so far built in the US range up to about 1100 MWe electrical output, but new ones up to about 1500 MWe are planned
Most Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) built to date were around 1100 MWe (megawatts energy) output, but larger ones are now planned, up to 1600 MWe or more. <><><> Nuclear power plants produce various amounts of energy relative primarily to the size of the reactor. For the generation of power, there is some minimum size that the plant will be to be able to be operated at a profit, or at least at some acceptable level of cost effectiveness. That minimum will vary, too, and from perhaps a few tens of megawatts upward. Typical Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) reactors built in the 1970's produce about 1100 MWe, whilst the latest designs range up to around 1500 MWe No matter what the maximum power of a nuclear plant may be, the actual power being generated at any time depends entirely on the amount of fuel in the reactor, how it is modulated and by what material. Rods containing nuclear material are in a core that is regulated by rods of material that can absorb neutrons emitted by the radioactive material. By controlling the fission process you can control the energy released and used to generate steam power to run a turbine to produce electric power. Rates can be in the order of a few kilowatts to megawatts depending on the size of the reactor.
Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa has a capacity of around 1,860 megawatts, which can provide electricity to approximately two million households. It generates a significant portion of South Africa's electricity supply.

Chashma Unit I is operating with a power output of 300 MWe. Chashma Unit II is undergoing testing, and is able to produce 300 MWe. Chashma Units III and IV are under construction or planned with a power output of 340 MWe each.

MWe stands for Mega Watt Electric, representing the output electric power of a power plant. Contrast this with MWt, which is Mega Watt Thermal, representing the thermal output power of the boiler, be it nuclear or fossil.
The airport code for Merowe Airport is MWE.
MWe and MWt are units for measuring the output of a power plant. MWe means megawatts of electrical output, and MWt means megawatts of thermal output. For example, a nuclear power plant might use a fission reactor to generate heat (thermal output) which creates steam to drive a turbine to generate electricity (electrical output). A reactor that generates 200 MWt (50 MWe), and another reactor that generates 800 MWt (200 MWe).

The world's first nuclear power plant was Obinsk, in the former USSR, in 1954, rated 6 MWe. It was a "semi-experimental" facility. The next plant was Calder Hall, in the UK, in 1956, rated 4 x 60 MWe, but it was primarily used to generate Plutonium for military purposes. The world's first full scale nuclear power plant was at Shippingport, Pennsylvania, US, in 1957, rated 60 MWe.
