Power is measured in watts. A watt is one joule per second. One joule per second is one volt-ampere per second when the power factor is 1.0. Commonly, when dealing with power plants, power is measured in kilowatts (1,000 watts), megawatts (1,000,000 watts), or gigawatts (1,000,000,000 watts).

Forces are typically measured in units called Newtons (N). One Newton is equivalent to the force required to accelerate a 1kg mass at a rate of 1 m/s^2.

You do not 'consume' power. Power is not a 'thing', it's simply a rate, the rate at which work is done.
