Convert megawatt-hour to horsepower (metric) hour
Please provide values below to convert megawatt-hour [MW*h] to horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h], or Convert horsepower (metric) hour to megawatt-hour.
1 MW*h = 1359.6216173 hp*h. To convert megawatt-hour to horsepower (metric) hour, multiply the value by 1359.6216173; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hp*h = 0.00073549875 MW*h). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
