Most power plants produce several Megawatts of power. A Megawatt is one million watts.
4 megawatts - heaps The megawatt is equal to one million watts. Many events or machines produce or sustain the conversion of energy on this scale. For example: lightning strikes, large electric motors, naval craft (such as aircraft carriers and submarines), engineering hardware, and some scientific research equipment, such as supercolliders and large lasers. A large residential or commercial building may consume several megawatts in electric power and heat.
1 KV is 1,000 volts. 1 MW is 1,000,000 watts. They are different measures. It's like asking, "how many fat grams are in 10 pounds of food."
It ultimately comes from a power generating station operated by the electric utility co. There, a generator is turned by water from a dam (hydroelectric) or by steam from coal or oil, or sometimes a nuclear reactor. The generating station might be many miles away. A very tiny bit of electricity is produced from the sun (photovoltaic), and by wind generators too. Have you seen the huge metal towers with cables up on top? These transmission lines are how the electricity gets from the generating station into the city. The transmission lines go to substations, where the voltage is transformed down to a lower value, then distributed by wires on smaller poles into neighborhoods. There, it is transformed once more into a lower voltage, the proper value for your outlets. This is done by transformers. Sometimes they are round metal cans up on poles, sometimes they are square metal boxes in a front yard or alley. Finally, the electricity comes from the transformer to your house. There may be a cable overhead from a pole to the house, or sometimes the cable is buried underground. Once the electricity is at the house, wires in the attic and walls carry it to the outlet itself. Whew! What a journey!

Nothing.
A power generating capacity of 2.8 million kilowatts!

A standard power station produces something like 500 megawatts. A standard wind turbine produces about 5 megawatts.
The same amount of megawatts as it takes to power it for a second, a minute, an hour, or a year. A watt, or a megawatt (million watts), is a unit of power, not of energy.
The Sun's power (about 386 billion billion megaWatts) is produced by nuclear fusion reactions. Please see related link for full information.

100 mega watts
That depends entirely upon the size of the solar panel and how many cells it has. Panels can be small enough to fit on and power a pocket calculator, generating less than 1 volt, or they can be very large, such as those you might find on a residential rooftop for supplying 110 volt power for the home's needs. Or, they can be absolutely massive, generating megawatts of power, such as the ones used for commercial electricity generation and that compete with nuclear, fossil fuel, hydro, or wind generated electricity.
1 MW = 10 to the power 6 Watts (in the new wiki answers type face).
250 Megawatts = 250,000,000 Watts.
