Good idea but why is it being measured in MW/MWh when it’s not an electrical battery? I know they can be converted but maybe it should be measured in actual thermal units like Btu?

In fact even Britain doesn't often use such units - even gas boilers, heat pumps and some AC are specced in kW. You do see BTU (the /hr is often missing) sometimes on AC marketing. My theory is 18000 sounds big and impressive and 5.2kW sounds "meh". We definitely don't talk about "tons", and we buy gas in cubic metres or "units" (which is just kWh)
