Units of Measure
Watt
The basic unit of electric power, expressing the rate at which electric energy is being expended. Power in watts equals the current in amperes times the voltage in volts.
Abbreviation: W
MW
Megawatt (1,000,000 watts)
GW
Gigawatt (1,000,000,000 watts)
KWh
Kilowatt hour. 1000 watts applied for one hour or 1 watt applied for 1000 hours (1000 watt-hours) The watt-hour is a basic unit of work (power applied over a period of time).
TWh
Terawatt hour (1,000,000,000,000 watt-hours)

Watt
Its not amp as mentioned above. Amp is a unit of current. And it's not kw/h which is a unit of power per time. And Joule is a unit of work. Kilowatt would also be kinda acceptable but it equals 1,000 watts where watt is really the base unit.

amp
(AMPere) A measurement of electrical current in a circuit. Contrast with "volts," which is a measure of force, or pressure, behind the current. Multiplying amps times volts derives "watts," the total measurement of power. In electrical equations such as Ohm's Law, the symbol for amp is "I"
