megawatt-hour

Energyexact by definition

The megawatt-hour is 1000 kilowatt-hours, exactly 3.6 × 10⁹ joules. It is the wholesale electricity trading unit worldwide: spot prices, power purchase agreements and generator output are all quoted per MWh, and one MWh is roughly a month of household consumption.
