Convert kilowatt-hour to megawatt-hour
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt-hour [kW*h] to megawatt-hour [MW*h], or Convert megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hour.
1 kW*h = 0.001 MW*h. To convert kilowatt-hour to megawatt-hour, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW*h = 1000 kW*h). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kW*h = 0.001 MW*h
- 1 MW*h = 1000 kW*h
- 10 kW*h = 0.01 MW*h
- 100 kW*h = 0.1 MW*h
How to Convert Kilowatt-Hour to Megawatt-Hour
1 kW*h = 0.001 MW*h
Example: convert 15 kW*h to MW*h:
15 kW*h = 15 × 0.001 MW*h = 0.015 MW*h

Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilowatt-hour in megawatt-hour?
1 kilowatt-hour (kW*h) = 0.001 megawatt-hour (MW*h).
How do you convert kilowatt-hour to megawatt-hour?
Multiply the kilowatt-hour value by 0.001. For example, 25 kW*h × 0.001 = 0.025 MW*h.
What is 10 kilowatt-hour in megawatt-hour?
10 kW*h = 0.01 MW*h.
Which unit is larger, the kilowatt-hour or the megawatt-hour?
The megawatt-hour is the larger unit: 1 kW*h equals only 0.001 MW*h.
