About Megawatt (MW)
One million watts, the megawatt is the standard unit for power plant output and large-scale energy projects. A single modern wind turbine generates 2-5 MW, a typical natural gas peaker plant produces 50-300 MW, and a large nuclear reactor generates about 1,000 MW (1 GW) of electrical power.
About Horsepower (mechanical) (hp)
The mechanical horsepower equals approximately 745.7 watts and was defined by James Watt to compare steam engine output to draft horses. Car engines, outboard motors, and lawnmowers in North America are rated in horsepower. A typical family sedan produces 150-200 hp, while Formula 1 engines exceed 1,000 hp.
