MW is power, not time related.

True. But demand (mW) is relevant even if it's not the same as total power (mWh). Why? Because demand has to be there if all 7500 people turn on their AC at the same time while they're cooking, etc. Especially with families with all parents working while the kids are in school. In other words, appliance use can't be spread out in the middle of the day at random hours. Busy families all run their appliances at the same time when they get home from work.

I should my math. Many more than 7,500. Show your math.

Not all are going to have all on at the same time. Some would be out shopping or entertain during peak time.

The average family size is 3+ people. No way the average family would demand 25kw.
