What are Therm and Megawatt-hour

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy used primarily in the heating and energy sectors. It is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). The therm is used to measure the energy content of natural gas and other fuels, providing a standardized method for quantifying energy consumption and efficiency in heating systems, power generation, and energy policy planning.

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equal to one million watts of power expended for one hour of time. It is a standard unit used to measure electricity production and consumption. Power plants and electric utilities use MWh to bill large commercial customers, and it serves as a key indicator for energy policy and economic planning in the context of power generation and energy markets.

History of Therm and Megawatt-hour

The Therm to Megawatt-hour Converter has its roots in the need to translate between different energy units. Historically, as the energy industry evolved, a standardized method of conversion became necessary for accurate billing, planning, and comparison of energy sources.
