Convert megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hour
Please provide values below to convert megawatt-hour [MW*h] to kilowatt-hour [kW*h], or Convert kilowatt-hour to megawatt-hour.
1 MW*h = 1000 kW*h. To convert megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hour, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*h = 0.001 MW*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 MW*h = 1000 kW*h
- 1 kW*h = 0.001 MW*h
- 10 MW*h = 10000 kW*h
- 100 MW*h = 100000 kW*h
How to Convert Megawatt-Hour to Kilowatt-Hour
1 MW*h = 1000 kW*h
Example: convert 15 MW*h to kW*h:
15 MW*h = 15 × 1000 kW*h = 15000 kW*h

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.
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.
