About this conversion
This page converts decawatts (daW) into megawatts (MW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A decawatt is 10 watt units.
A megawatt is 1e+06 watt units.
The formula is MW = daW × 1e-5, 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.
