- 1百萬瓦（中國大陸常稱「兆瓦」；台灣「兆」通常指大得多的數字，用百萬瓦較不易混）
A megawatt is a million watts. A watt is a small unit of power — how much energy something uses or makes at one moment — so a megawatt is the size you use for a power station, a big wind farm, or a factory, not a lamp. A hair dryer might use about a thousand watts (one ); a megawatt is a thousand times that. Electricity companies, engineers, and news about energy use the word. There is also an adjective use: a megawatt plant, meaning it runs at that power. Though actually people often mix watts (power right now) with watt-hours (energy over time). A megawatt-hour is a different, related idea: power times hours. For , lock megawatt to a million watts of power.
組成mega- + watt. mega- is the scientific prefix for a million, from Ancient Greek μέγας (mégas, great). watt is the small unit of power, named after James Watt.
