MW · Megawatt
Unit of real power; in AI data centers it has become the de facto unit of compute capacity and grid demand.
Current numbers
≥50 MW @ ≥100 kVCLO/CLOP registry threshold (NERC Board-approved 2026-10-08; FERC pending): total connected site load ≥50 MW, through equipment at ≥100 kV
~3–5 °CCDU heat-exchanger approach (FWS→TCS) as a design allowance; the OCP Project Deschutes 1.0.0 spec targets 3 °C at 2 MW
Cost tie: about $11.9m each; operating states decideIllustrative 3.0 MW power package, 2N versus 4N/3: ten-year cost at equal usable load
