"Watt" is a rate of using energy. It means "one joule per second".
"One megawatt per year" means "One million joules per second per year".
Clearly, it has no physical meaning.
One megawatt-year is equal to roughly 31.56 megajoules. (rounded)
One megajoule per year is equal to roughly 0.0317 watt. (rounded)

∙ 13y agoMega means "million." So any whole mega would contain at least six zeroes. 1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts.
The prefix "mega-" means 1,000,000 and the prefix "kilo-" means 1,000. Thus one megawatt is one thousand times as big as a kilowatt.
Mega is the prefix for a million.
Mega millions is a lottery game in the United States. There isn't a such thing as a "Mega" million.

Mega means million and a watt is a unit of power. A megawatt hour is the amount of power used if 1,000,000 watts are used for 1 hour, or 1 watt is used for 1,000,000 hours. If 100 light bulbs each using 1,000 watts of power are turned on for 10 hours, they will use 100 x 1,000 x 10 watt hours = 1,000,000 watt hours = 1 megawatt hour. Most electric companies charge for the number of kilowatt hours used. A megawatt hour is 1,000 kilowatt hours.
1 million.
"mega-" = one million, so 1 megawatt = 1 000 000 watts. So 10 mW = 10 000 000 W.

6 zeros since 1 mega watt is 1000000 Watts
There is no such thing as a megawatt (not 'mega watt') per hour, so what exactly are you asking?
