A power plant which produces 500 million watts (500 megawatts)

The actual rating would be 500MWh's ( the hours are implied in this case.) This is not always the output from the plant, but rather the plants uppermost limit of production capability under perfect conditions.

The number of homes powered by 500 megawatts depends on the average energy consumption of each home. On average, a home uses about 10,000 kWh per year. To calculate the number of homes, you would divide the total power in kilowatts (500,000 kW) by the average annual consumption per home (10,000 kWh) to get an estimate. This would equate to powering approximately 50,000 homes.

How much does a house use? This can vary a lot. If we assume 2kW per house on average, we get 250,000 houses, but if you have electric cooking and heating this could easily come to 20kW per house. The trouble with supplying electricity is that loading can vary so much from season to season and over 24 hours.

Considering a 75% PLF, the power plantwith generate 350MW. This is equivalent to 350,000 KW. Therefore, in a day, the power plant will generate 8,400,000 units (8,400,000 KWh). - Aditya
