Why are megawatt and megajoule per second equivalent units?

Because both units represent the same power magnitude: the rate of energy transfer of one million joules per second equals one million watts.

Can I use this conversion for energy quantities instead of power?

No, this conversion applies strictly to power, which is energy per unit time, not to energy values or time intervals separately.

What industries commonly use the MW to MJ/s conversion?

Power generation, renewable energy, electrical grid management, and industrial heat transfer sectors commonly use this conversion.
