In Energy Trading terms Power is almost always synonymous with Electricity
In physics terms power is a measure of the rate of energy conversion per unit time
Detail
In SI terms energy is measured in Joules
One watt = one Joule per second
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 joules per second
1 megawatt (MW) = 1,000 kW
1 gigawatt (GW) = 1,000 MW
1 terawatt (TW) = 1,000 TW
Since power is energy per unit time (energy divided by time) it follows that energy is power multiplied by time
Frequently energy is measured in these terms:
1 kWh = 1 kilowatt for an hour = 3,600 * 1,000 joules = 3,600,000 joules
