- Electric utility companies generally say that a community with 65,000 homes needs to be served by a 100 MegaWatt facility (keep this fact in mind as you work through this assignment: 100 MW = 65,000 homes!) The fossil-fuel burning Mountainview generating station near us provides electricity to 715,000 homes. A Google search of "mountainview generation station" shows that it provides MW of power. [read links until you find the current MegaWatts (MW) of the plant] * Your answerarrow_forwardAccording to the World Energy Council, the average household in Mexico consumes about 1600 kWh of energy per year. In Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, the GHI Solar Map suggests that the average annual solar energy potential is about 1800 kWh/m2 per year.
