Megawatts to Watts Converter

1 megawatt (MW) equals 1,000,000 watts (W).

Quick answer

  • 1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts
  • 1 watt = 0.000001 megawatts
  • Formula: W = MW × 1,000,000

1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts

How to convert megawatts to watts

W = MW × 1,000,000

To convert megawatts to watts, multiply the number of megawatts by 1,000,000.

Example: 18 MW to W

  1. Start with the value in megawatts: 18 MW.
  2. Multiply by 1,000,000: 18 × 1,000,000 = 18,000,000.
  3. Result: 18 megawatts = 18,000,000 watts.

Going the other way, 1 watt = 0.000001 megawatts, so to convert watts back to megawatts you divide by the same number. See watts to megawatts.
