About this conversion
This page converts megawatts (MW) into centiwatts (cW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A megawatt is 1e+06 watt units.
A centiwatt is 0.01 watt units.
The formula is cW = MW × 100000000, 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.
