Watt is an Energy unit, period, as electrical unit, as in this case, it's W=VA(δ), only as work/kinetic unit it's W = J/s = Nm/s = kgm²*s^-^³

Watt is not a unit of energy, it's a unit of power [Joules/second]. This definition doesn't change between kinetic and electrical contexts.

Well, power measure the rate of energy transfer, anyway Ws is not the same as W.
