It takes energy to do this (the unit for energy is a joule). So it takes some number of joules to get to the top. A watt is a joule per second so a battery capable of 4.2 MW means that it can produce joules at rate twice that of one with a 2.1 MW rating. Both can get you up the hill, but one can get the job done twice as fast.
