How could you simplify what 170 megawatts (MW) really are? Is it possible to compare it to a certain number of barrels of oil or to something simpler to understand since picturing 170MW is hard?
 
One megawatt is one million watts.
It requires about 750 watts to run
a typical 1 horsepower motor at 110 volts.
