Question
How much electricity does one MetroVolt produce?
A MetroVolt unit is designed for 0.61–0.84 GWe of net electric output; a three-unit station reaches roughly 1.8–2.5 GWe — city-scale firm power.
"Net electric" is the number that matters — power delivered to the grid after the plant powers itself. See engineering gain for how it's defined and MetroVolt for the full design point.
Questions & answers
How much power does one MetroVolt unit produce?
The design point delivers 0.61–0.84 GWe of net electric output per unit (engineering gain Q_eng of about 2.1–2.7), from a fusion power of 2.41 GW at the hot-ion ceiling or about 1.5 GW at the near-thermal baseline.
What about a full station?
A three-unit station reaches roughly 1.8–2.5 GWe — enough to anchor a city or a hyperscale data-center campus.
Are these operating numbers?
No — they are design-point values validated against the open 81-analysis simulation record, on a gate-adjudicated schedule, not measurements from a built machine.
