Convert terawatt to exawatt
Please provide values below to convert terawatt [TW] to exawatt [EW], or Convert exawatt to terawatt.
1 TW = 1e-06 EW. To convert terawatt to exawatt, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EW = 1000000 TW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TW = 1e-06 EW
- 1 EW = 1000000 TW
- 10 TW = 1e-05 EW
- 100 TW = 0.0001 EW
How to Convert Terawatt to Exawatt
1 TW = 1e-06 EW
Example: convert 15 TW to EW:
15 TW = 15 × 1e-06 EW = 1.5e-05 EW

Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 terawatt in exawatt?
1 terawatt (TW) = 1e-06 exawatt (EW).
How do you convert terawatt to exawatt?
