    2285 hours by 2227 watts gives me 5088695watts or 508.86 mega watts.

    Is that correct.


    Therefore 508.86 mega watts by .1597 unit cost = 81.26 Euros

    Is that correct


    And finally


    2285 hours by 264 watts gives me 603240 watts or 60.32 megawatts

    Is that correct

    Therefore 60.32 mega watts by .1597 unit cost = 9.63 euros

    Is that correct

    it's 5,088.695 kw

    the unit price is per kw/hr so 5,088.695*0.1597=812.66euro

    2285*2227=
    5088695 watt hours
    or
    5088.695 kilowatt hours
    or
    5.088695 megawatts hours


    unit costs are usually a kilowatt used for an hour of time
