How the formula works
Both megawatt and decawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in megawatts by 100000 to get decawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a decawatt value by 0.00001 to get back to megawatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Megawatt (MW)?
A Megawatt (MW) equals 1e+6 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for mega-scale electrical work.
What is Decawatt (daW)?
A Decawatt (daW) equals 10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deca-scale electrical work.
How do I convert megawatts to decawatts?
Multiply the megawatt value by 100000 to get the equivalent in decawatts. For example, 5 MW × 100000 = 500000 daW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 100000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert decawatts back to megawatts?
Yes. Divide the decawatt value by 100000, or multiply it by 0.00001, to get megawatts.
