To convert MWh costs to MW-e, you’d typically adjust for the capacity factor of the energy source. Since MW-e represents electrical output capacity and MWh is energy produced over time, the cost per MW-e would factor in how many hours the system operates at full capacity. For example, if you know the cost per MWh and the capacity factor (the percentage of time the system operates at full capacity), you can estimate the annual cost per MW-e by dividing the cost per MWh by the capacity factor and then adjusting for the number of hours in a year that the system is expected to run at full capacity. It’s a bit technical, so I’d recommend consulting with an energy economist or engineer for precise calculations tailored to your specific context.
