What is Tbtu?

How does a megawatt compare to a TBtu?

A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power representing one million watts, typically used to measure the rate of energy generation or consumption. A terabritish thermal unit (TBtu) is a unit of energy equivalent to one trillion British thermal units, often used to quantify large amounts of energy, especially in the context of natural gas and heating. To convert between these units, it's important to know that 1 MW corresponds to approximately 3.412 million BTUs per hour, so a TBtu can be converted to MW by considering the time frame over which the energy is used or generated.
