Megawatt (MW)
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 kilowatts, typically used for larger-scale generation or industrial consumption figures.
Definition
A megawatt (MW) equals 1,000 kilowatts, and is typically used to describe larger-scale power — grid generation capacity, large industrial sites, or utility-scale renewable installations — rather than typical building-level consumption.
Why It Matters
MW is mostly relevant for larger industrial or generation-scale contexts rather than day-to-day building energy management.
How ecolyptus Helps
ecolyptus scales consumption units automatically as site size warrants, from kW up to MW where applicable.
