The microwatt (µW) is equal to one millionth (10−6) of a watt. Important powers that are measured in microwatts are typically stated in medical instrumentation systems such as the EEG and the ECG, in a wide variety of scientific and engineering instruments and also in reference to radio and radar receivers. Compact solar cells for devices such as calculators and watches are typically measured in microwatts.

| 2 microwatts = 2.0E-15 gigawatts | 7 microwatts = 7.0E-15 gigawatts |
| 3 microwatts = 3.0E-15 gigawatts | 8 microwatts = 8.0E-15 gigawatts |
| 4 microwatts = 4.0E-15 gigawatts | 9 microwatts = 9.0E-15 gigawatts |

The gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion (109) watts or 1 gigawatt = 1000 megawatts. This unit is often used for large power plants or power grids. For example, by the end of 2010 power shortages in China's Shanxi province were expected to increase to 5–6 GW and the installed capacity of wind power in Germany was 25.8 GW. The largest unit (out of four) of the Belgian Doel Nuclear Power Station has a peak output of 1.04 GW. HVDC converters have been built with power ratings of up to 2 GW.
