<h3>What is megawatt-hours?</h3>
A Megawatt-hour is a unit of energy and its units, MWh, are formed with W for watt and h for hour from SI unit system combined with letter M, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix">metric prefix</a>, for 1,000,000 or <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>1</mn><msup><mn>0</mn><mn>6</mn></msup></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">10^6</annotation></semantics></math>. Its definition, in the context of electricity, is the energy of one watt power flowing for one hour.
