suffix “th” may be added to indicate that a quantity of energy is thermal
energy. The same suffixes can be added to amounts of energy. “My house
uses 2 kWh(e) of electricity per day.”

If we add a suffix “p” to a power, this indicates that it’s a “peak” power,
or capacity. For example, 10 m2 of panels might have a power of 1 kWp.

1 kWh/d = 1/24 kW.

1 toe/y = 1.33 kW.

Petrol comes out of a petrol pump at about half a litre per second. So
that’s 5 kWh per second, or 18 MW.

The power of a Formula One racing car is 560 kW.

UK electricity consumption is 17 kWh per day per person, or 42.5 GW
per UK.

“One ton” of air-conditioning = 3.5 kW.
