megajoule per megawatt-hour
Heat rateexact by definition
One megajoule of fuel heat for each megawatt-hour of electricity sent out. The prefixes cancel, so it is exactly the same size as one kilojoule per kilowatt-hour; the two are listed apart because grid and market reports quote one and plant data sheets the other.
Why it is written : MJ/MWh and kJ/kWh are numerically identical. A reader who sees 9,500 in one and 9,500 in the other is looking at the same plant.
