The Planck energy divided by the Planck time is the Planck power, equal to about 3.62831 × 1052W. This is a staggeringly, impractically large unit; even gamma-ray bursts, the most luminious phenomena known, have output on the order of 1 × 1045 W, less than one ten-millionth of the Planck power. The Planck energy is the natural unit of energy, denoted by EP. 1. ... In physics, the Planck time (tP), is the natural unit of time. ... The watt (symbol: W) is the SI derived unit of power. ...

In terms of the fundamental constants of physics, it is given by
In physics, Planck units are physical units of measurement defined exclusively in terms of the five fundamental physical constants shown in the table below in such a manner that all of these fundamental constants take on the numerical value of 1 when expressed in terms of these units.
Planck units are only one system of natural units among other systems, but might be considered unique in that these units are not based on properties of any prototype, object, or particle but are based only on properties of free space.
Planck units normalize the gravitational constant G in Newton's law of universal gravitation to 1.
Planck became permanent secretary of the mathematics and physics sections of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1912 and held that position until 1938; he was also president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (now the Max Planck Society) from 1930 to 1937.
Told in plain language, in the questions of religion Planck was neither flesh nor fowl: in public lecture he expressed himself so as to cause the listeners think that he is exactly such believer as they are, but in a private letter he confessed that nevertheless he was in a sense different.
Planck was quite satisfied with being able to "prove" consistency of views of science and religion about the world order and that this order is "equally" incomprehensible in both.
