1 watt equals 0.000001 megawatts
How to convert watts to megawatts
Power is energy transferred per time: 1 W = 1 J/s. Mechanical, metric and electrical horsepower have different definitions; select the version stated on the equipment rating.
MW = W ÷ 1000000One megawatt corresponds to 1000000 watts, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.

megawattMW
One million watts. Used for power-station and grid capacity.
Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
