Watts to Megawatts
Convert watts (W) to megawatts (MW). Type in either box; the other updates as you go.
1 watt equals0.000001 MW
1 megawatt equals1,000,000 W
FormulaMW = W × 0.000001
How to convert watts to megawatts
To convert watts to megawatts, multiply the number of watts by 0.000001.
MW = W × 0.000001
Example
Convert 5,000 watts to megawatts:
5,000 W × 0.000001 = 0.005 MW
