There are IEC 60309 industrial power connectors that can handle 8MW (1000V, 800A).

There are also power connectors for cruise ships while they are in dock that handle lots of power. It looks like they use IEC 80005 for shore power. It looks like it is AC only but probably could be made to use DC.

Isn't that 0.8MW?

    8001000=800,000. (81 and 5 zeros).

    looks like 800kW to me. Nice catch.
