About this conversion
This page converts terawatts (TW) into milliwatts (mW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A terawatt is 1e+12 watt units.
A milliwatt is 0.001 watt units.
The formula is mW = TW × 1e+15, 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.
