What this tool does
Convert megawatt-hours to kilowatt-hours, gigajoules, megajoules, BTU, therms and other energy units. Type an amount in megawatt-hours, choose the units, and the tool converts it to kilowatt-hours. It offers 10 energy units and also shows the same amount in the others.
Inputs
- Value: A number.
- From: Choose one from 10 options, including Megawatt-hour, Kilowatt-hour, Watt-hour, Gigajoule, Megajoule, Kilojoule. Starts as Megawatt-hour.
- To: Choose one of the same 10 units as "From". Starts as Kilowatt-hour.
How to use
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
- Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.
Worked examples
Conversions from megawatt-hours to kilowatt-hours:
- 1 MWh = 1,000 kWh
- 5 MWh = 5,000 kWh
- 10 MWh = 10,000 kWh
- 50 MWh = 50,000 kWh
- 100 MWh = 100,000 kWh
Multiply the number of megawatt-hours by 1,000 to get kilowatt-hours. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000 is the exact factor: 1 MWh = 1,000 kWh.
Sources: Megawatt-hour: exact by definition. Kilowatt-hour: exact by definition.
Limitations
- Converts units of energy only. It does not work out energy from power, time, voltage or charge.
FAQs
- Q: How many kilowatt-hours are in one megawatt-hour?
- A: One megawatt-hour is 1000 kilowatt-hours. Change the value to convert any amount; the other units are listed below the result.
- Q: Which definition of the units does this page use?
- A: BTU here is the International Table BTU (about 1055.06 J), the usual definition for heating and cooling. The thermochemical BTU is slightly smaller. The therm shown is the EC therm (105.506 MJ, very nearly 100,000 BTU).
- Q: Can I convert from kilowatt-hours to megawatt-hours?
- A: Yes. Choose kilowatt-hour in the From box and megawatt-hour in the To box. One kilowatt-hour is 0.001 megawatt-hours.
