Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the btu per hour (BTU/h). BTU per hour measures power as British thermal units transferred each hour, common for heating and cooling equipment.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the megawatt (MW). A megawatt is 1e+06 watt units.
How do I convert btu per hour to megawatts?
Multiply the btu per hour value by 2.930710702e-7 to get megawatt. For example, 1000 BTU/h × 2.930710702e-7 = 0.000293071 MW.
Is the btu per hour to megawatts conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined by fixed numeric relationships to the watt, so the conversion factor used here, 2.930710702e-7, is exact.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It is used when comparing power ratings expressed in btu per hour against equipment, engines, or specifications rated in megawatts.
Can I convert megawatts back to btu per hour?
Yes. Multiply the megawatt value by 3412141.633 to get btu per hour.

About this conversion
This page converts btu per hour (BTU/h) into megawatts (MW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
BTU per hour measures power as British thermal units transferred each hour, common for heating and cooling equipment.
A megawatt is 1e+06 watt units.
The formula is MW = BTU/h × 2.930710702e-7, derived from each unit's fixed relationship to the watt, the SI unit of power.
Because both units are defined by exact numeric relationships to the watt, this conversion is exact rather than approximate.
