This is probably very simple but I'm not sure whether my assumptions are correct. 

I have data about the gross hydropower potential of dams in MWatt. I'd like to know how much electricity in MWh (or GWh, it's the same) I can theoretically win from these dams, in order to compare this value with the electricity consumption pro capita in the interested countries (which again is in kWh/capita).

Can I simply assume that if the capacity of a dam is for example 100 MW, it can produce theoretically 100 MWh?  

Thank you very much!
