UNITS OF MEASUREMENT<br />
• Mechanical and electrical power is measured<br />
in Watts (W).<br />
• The megawatt/hour (MWh) is the amount of<br />
power generated by a 1-megawatt (MW)<br />
generation facility within a one-hour period.<br />
• 1 MW = 1 000 kilowatts (kW) = 1 million watts.<br />
• 1 terawatt/hour (TWh) is equal to<br />
1 billion kWh.<br />
23 fossil-fi red<br />
plants<br />
and<br />
13 gas<br />
