How the formula works
Both terawatt and megawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in terawatts by 1.000000e+06 to get megawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a megawatt value by 0.000001 to get back to terawatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Terawatt (TW)?
A Terawatt (TW) equals 1e+12 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for tera-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 terawatts to megawatts?
Multiply the terawatt value by 1.000000e+06 to get the equivalent in megawatts. For example, 5 TW × 1.000000e+06 = 5.000000e+06 MW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e+06 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert megawatts back to terawatts?
Yes. Divide the megawatt value by 1.000000e+06, or multiply it by 0.000001, to get terawatts.
