What are Megabtu and Gigawatt-hour

A Megabritish Thermal Unit, abbreviated as MBtu or MMBtu, represents one million British Thermal Units (BTU). It is a traditional unit of heat defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This measurement is commonly used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries to quantify large amounts of energy.

A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion watt-hours. It is commonly used to measure the production or consumption of electricity on a large scale. One GWh is equivalent to a constant power supply of one gigawatt (1 GW) over a period of one hour. Large power plants often use this unit for reporting the amount of energy they produce or supply.
