Kilowatts to megawatts Conversion
1 kilowatts (kW) is equal to 0.001 megawatts (MW).
1 kW = 0.001 MW
or
1 MW = 1000 kW
Formula
To convert a power from kilowatts (kW) to megawatts (MW), divide the power in kilowatts by 1000
p(MW) = p(kW) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 250 kilowatts to megawatts:
p(MW) = 250kW / 1000 = 0.25 MW
