0.1MW
That's 45× as much power as a kettle, while a family car is 1.1× more. That is about 45.45 electric kettles running at once.

What it means
What could that run?
Appliance figures are typical. Car output is quoted at the engine, before losses through the gearbox.
The math
How to convert kW to MW
To convert kilowatts to megawatts, multiply by 0.001.
Example: 100 kW × 0.001 = 0.1 MW.
In the other direction, 1 MW = 1,000 kW.

About these units
Kilowatts (kW)
A kilowatt is 1,000 watts, the power of a small kettle. Electric motors and car engines are increasingly rated in kilowatts.
Megawatts (MW)
A megawatt is a million watts. One large wind turbine produces a few megawatts; a town uses tens of them.
