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.
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
50 watts is 0.05 kilowatts, so in 24 hours it uses 0.05 x 24 kilowatt-hours, or 1.2 kilowatt-hours of energy.
1kilowatt = 1000 watts but you cannot compare a kilowatt hour to a watt, the extra dimension of time changes what is being measured. The watt is a measure of power. The watt second and the kilowatt hour is energy. The misunderstanding comes from our use of the term POWER COMPANY for our electricity suppliers. They bill us in kilowatt hours which is energy, not power.
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).
There are 3.6 million joules in one kilowatt-hour.
A kilowatt is a unit of power, not time. Power is the rate at which energy is used or produced. It is not possible to convert kilowatts directly to seconds.
-- 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.
