Kilowatt-hours to watt-hour Conversion
1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to 1000 watt-hour (W⋅hr).
1 kWh = 1000 W⋅hr
or
1 W⋅hr = 0.001 kWh
Formula
To convert a energy from kilowatt-hours (kWh) to watt-hour (W⋅hr), multiply the energy in kilowatt-hours by 1000
e(W⋅hr) = e(kWh) × 1000
Examples:
Convert 500 kilowatt-hours to watt-hour:
e(W⋅hr) = 500kWh × 1000 = 500000 W⋅hr

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert kilowatt-hours to watt-hour?
Multiply the value in kilowatt-hours by 1000 to get the result in watt-hour. For example, 5 kWh × 1000 = 5000 W⋅hr.
How many watt-hour are in 1 kilowatt-hours?
1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to 1000 watt-hour (W⋅hr).
How do I convert watt-hour back to kilowatt-hours?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in watt-hour by 1000 to get the result in kilowatt-hours.
How accurate is the kilowatt-hours to watt-hour conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
