Power

MW to MMBTU/hr conversion

Convert megawatt (MW) to million BTU per hour (MMBTU/hr). Power is energy per unit time — the rating of pumps, compressors, motors, and heat duties.

1 MW = 3.412142 MMBTU/hr

Formula

To convert megawatt to million BTU per hour, multiply the MW value by 3.412142. To go the other way, divide by 3.412142 (or multiply by 0.2930711).
