How the formula works
Both decawatt and megawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in decawatts by 0.00001 to get megawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a megawatt value by 100000 to get back to decawatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Decawatt (daW)?
A Decawatt (daW) equals 10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deca-scale electrical work.
What is Megawatt (MW)?
A Megawatt (MW) equals 1e+6 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for mega-scale electrical work.
How do I convert decawatts to megawatts?
Multiply the decawatt value by 0.00001 to get the equivalent in megawatts. For example, 5 daW × 0.00001 = 0.00005 MW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.00001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert megawatts back to decawatts?
Yes. Divide the megawatt value by 0.00001, or multiply it by 100000, to get decawatts.
