How to Convert Microwatts to Megawatts
To convert a measurement in microwatts to a measurement in megawatts, divide the power by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000,000,000 microwatts/megawatt.
Since one megawatt is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 microwatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
megawatts = microwatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000
The power in megawatts is equal to the power in microwatts divided by 1,000,000,000,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000,000,000,000 microwatts to megawatts using the formula above.
megawatts = (5,000,000,000,000 µW ÷ 1,000,000,000,000) = 5 MW
Microwatts and megawatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Microwatt?
One microwatt is the power equal to 1/1,000,000 of a watt, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1/1,000,000 of a joule per second.
The microwatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for millionths, or 10-6. Microwatts can be abbreviated as µW; for example, 1 microwatt can be written as 1 µW.

What Is a Megawatt?
One megawatt is the power equal to 1,000,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000,000 joules per second.
The megawatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Megawatts can be abbreviated as MW; for example, 1 megawatt can be written as 1 MW.
