megawatteja

Megawatteja is the plural form of megawatti in Finnish, used to denote several megawatts. The singular megawatti corresponds to one million watts, a unit of power in the metric system. The form megawatteja is the partitive plural, used after numbers and in contexts that require the partitive case, such as “useita megawatteja” or “hankkeen kapasiteetti on noin 2 000 megawatteja.”

In energy reporting and project planning, megawatteja is commonly used to express installed capacity and electricity output, for example in discussions about wind farms, solar plants, or power grids. The term is primarily found in Finnish-language documents, media, and industry discussions. In international contexts, the English term megawatts or the symbol MW is more commonly used, but megawatteja appears in Finnish reports, specifications, and regulatory texts.

Etymology and usage notes: megawatteja derives from the English megawatt with Finnish inflection, following standard Finnish pluralization rules for loanwords. It functions as a measure of electrical power capacity and, less commonly, of instantaneous output in plural references. Usage tends to align with formal or semi-formal written Finnish, including technical, governmental, and media contexts. See also megawatti, megawatt, and MW.
