What are Megawatt-hour and Calorie

Definition of Megawatt-hour

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour of time. One MWh is equal to 3.6 billion joules. It is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. This measurement reflects the amount of electricity that power plants generate and consumers use.

Definition of Calorie

A calorie, specifically a Calorie with a capital 'C', also known as a kilocalorie (kcal), is a unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. The Calorie is commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food, where it's important to balance energy intake with energy expenditure.
