A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts. It measures the rate at which energy is used or generated, with one watt representing one joule per second. In terms of energy consumption, one kilowatt-hour (kWh) equals the energy used by a 1 kW device running for one hour.
Watt, kilowatt, or megawatt are units of power (energy/time). A watt is 1 joule/second. A kilowatt is a thousand joules per second. A kilowatt is also 1 kWh/hour (kilowatt-hour / hour). Since you would usually pay per kilowatt-hour, you might be more interested in the number of kilowatt-hours. A megawatt is a million joules per second - or a thousand kWh/hour.
One kilowatt (kW) is equivalent to 1,000 watts. In terms of energy consumption, one kilowatt-hour (kWh) represents the energy used when a device consumes one kilowatt of power for one hour. Therefore, 1 kW can be thought of as the power required to operate a device consuming 1,000 watts.
Considering it is kw for kilowatt and not kv. 1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatt.
1 kilowatt hour = 3,600,000 Joules 1 Tetrajoule = 1,000,000 Joules 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 Tetrajoules
Three common units of energy are joules (J), calories (cal), and kilowatt-hours (kWh). Joules are the standard unit in the International System of Units (SI), while calories are often used in nutrition to measure the energy content of food. Kilowatt-hours are commonly used in the context of electricity consumption. Each unit serves specific applications in scientific, dietary, and energy contexts.
The term for 1000 units is "kilo."
Units of electricity as given on power bills are usually measured in kiloWatt hours. (kW.h) This is a kiloWatt of energy delivered for a period of an hour. It is a unit of power, and a kiloWatt is a measure of energy.

3.8 x 10(9) BTU
1 kilowatt is equal to 3,412 BTUs (British Thermal Units).
These do not have the same units. 1 kilowatt hour per meter cubed is in kg m-1 s-2 1 kilojoule per kg is in m2 s-2
Kilowatt has no reference to time. Kilowat hour has one hour.
-- watt -- kilowatt -- joule per second -- horsepower
In North America it is kilowatt/hour. A kilowatt is 1000 watts. To find out how much your utility company charges you per kilowatt/hour, look on your utility bill. On my bill it is .08 cents for every kilowatt/hour that I consume.
1 MW is 1000 kilowatts, so in 1 Hour it will sell 1000 units (taking a unit as 1 kilowatt hour)
These units do not have a direct relationship. Imagine kilowatt hours as the equivalent of work done, and megawatts (or kilowatts) as the equivalent of effort.To answer your question: 1 megawatt 'produces' 1000 kilowatts per hour.
The therm (symbol thm) is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU).The therm is equal to about 105.5 megajoules, 25,200 kilocalories or 29.3 kilowatt-hours.
