Exempel på megawatt

• Trebling would mean 6,000 megawatts of atomic electricity by 1965 with a coal equivalent of about 18 million tons a year.

• It would cost about £375 million—which is £1.5 million per megawatt of electricity produced—to burn the short rotational coppice.

• The flue-gas emissions of coal-fired power stations must be tackled, but the task is hugely expensive, costing some £200,000 per megawatt of installed capacity.

• The installed capacity would have been 380 megawatts and the units generated about 1,000 million.

• Along this beam the power is of the order of 10 megawatts; outside the beam it is less than one thousandth part of this.

• The total installed capaciy or the peak demand, which is roughly the same, is about 40,000 megawatts, and a quarter of that is 10,000 megawatts.

• A further 18 years of investment are needed, for instance, before clean coal technologies will be suitable for a 1,000 megawatt power station.

• Therefore, for a 1,000 megawatt power station, the bill will be £200 million.

• In view of this new cheapness, will they increase the figure of 500 megawatts and build it up to get more from the same £400 million?

• But there is absolutely no reason why four 500 megawatt power stations should not be built near conurbations.

• It will have a generating capacity of 1,300 megawatts.

• I would stress, in any event, that the cable's total capacity is about 160 megawatts, compared with the 7,000 megawatts which we are currently losing.

• One windmill can produce three quarters of a megawatt of electricity.

• The ventilation system and lighting would consume several megawatts of electricity.

• We hope that, by the year 2000, 1,500 additional megawatts of electricity generating capacity will be from renewable sources.
