MW stands for megawatts. "mw" (in lower case) stands for milliwatts, however.

Comment

The SI convention is that is a unit of measurement is named after someone, then its symbol is always capitalised. So, the symbol for watt is an upper-case 'W'. So, the correct symbol for milliwatt is mW and the correct symbol for megawatt is MW.
