==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Megawatts''' ('''MW''') are a [[unit]] of [[energy]] 1,000,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]] of the [[Joule]]s.
===About Megawatts===
: '''Megawatts''' are shortened to '''MW''' with an upper case M and an upper case W.
: [[Mega]] means one million so there are 1,000,000 [[Watt]]s in a [[megawatt]].
===Converting to Megawatts===
