It’s a number that Strava spits out. Their description sounds a lot like “
Normalized Power®”.
From
Strava glossary:
Weighted Average Power
When you ride with a power meter, you'll notice how your power jumps all over the place based on the terrain, grade, wind, and other factors. Weighted Average Power looks at all of this variation and provides an average power for your ride that is a better indicator of your effort than simply taking your average power. It is our best guess at your average power if you rode at the exact same wattage the entire ride.
