The ultimate measure of power is the Watt.

to make things easier, sometimes 1,000 watts will be called a Kilowatt and 1,000,000 watts will be called a Megawatt.

Some industries like the Aluminum Industry on the Columbia River get their power from the Bonneville Power Administration by what is called "demand metering". Essentially they contract for a precise amount of energy during specific periods of time. A special meter that creates a "pulse" as each unit of energy is consumed allows the Aluminum Company to tune its furnaces to consume just enough, but not too much power. This is an example of a special way to deliver large amounts of power that benefit the industry as well as the power supplier.
