As we can see, two resistances of 2Ω in the middle portion(in both left and right side) are in parallel, so their combined resistance will be 2+22×2+2+22×2=2Ω. Now this resistance along with the topmost & bottommost resistance are in parallel again, so total resistance of the circuit will be,
Req=32+32=34Ω
∴P=ReqV2=344=3W
