History a bit

MW/MWe/MWt MWe and MWt are units for measuring the output of a power plant. MWe  MegaWatts of electrical output MWt  megawatts of thermal output

KWH Q: How many houses – a 1,600 MWe nuclear plant could power, if the average house used 8,900 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year? A: The power plant generates power at the rate of 1600 MW or 1600 million watts. Watts are a rate, a joule per second; or a watt-hour per hour. 8,900 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year  is 8900 kw- hr x 1 day/24 hours x 1 year/365 days = 1.01 kw or ~1000 watts. So if each house takes 1kW, then 1600 MW will handle houses.
