What does FMW mean in UNCLASSIFIED

MW stands for MegaWatt which is a unit of power and equivalent to one million watts.

One megawatt is the equivalent of 1,000 kilowatts, and roughly equates to the amount of electricity used by about 330 homes in one hour.

MW power is typically used for large-scale operations such as power plants, industries, and wind farms. It can also be used to run small appliances such as lamps, lights, televisions and other electronics in commercial or residential buildings.

Approximately 3.6 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy are generated by 1MW of installed capacity in a year’s time. This amount depends on the characteristics of the energy source like its fuel type and efficiency among others.

The main difference between kW (Kilowatts) and MW (Megawatts) is their size; A kilowatt equals 1,000 watts while a megawatt equals 1 million watts. For example, an average lightbulb uses approximately 60W whereas an average wind turbine has around 2MW capacity.

The cost to build a new Megawatt power plant varies greatly depending on the size of the project and various other factors including the location, local regulations and permits, labor costs etcetera. A rough estimation puts this figure somewhere around US$1 million per Megawatt installed capacity for natural gas plants or renewable sources such as solar or wind-powered plants that may be slightly more expensive due to installation costs.

Building a Megawatt sized power plant typically takes 12 - 18 months from start to finish depending on several variables such as resource availability, local regulation/permitting process etcetera. However it could take longer if any unforeseen circumstances arise during construction or if additional regulatory approvals are required.

The exact amount of space needed for setting up a particular kind of Megawatt sized power plant depends on many factors such as the type/source of energy being harnessed (whether it’s natural gas/hydropower/wind/solar etc) but generally speaking you will need roughly about 10 acres (4 hectares) in order to accommodate all necessary equipment like turbines/generators/cooling systems as well as operational staff buildings.

No, not necessarily; Depending on the regional population density & electricity needs – certain countries might require more than others depending upon their requirements & local laws.
