Megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hours Conversion
1 megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) is equal to 1000 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
1 MW⋅hr = 1000 kWh
or
1 kWh = 0.001 MW⋅hr
Formula
To convert a energy from megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), multiply the energy in megawatt-hour by 1000
e(kWh) = e(MW⋅hr) × 1000
Examples:
Convert 50 megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hours:
e(kWh) = 50MW⋅hr × 1000 = 50000 kWh

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hours?
Multiply the value in megawatt-hour by 1000 to get the result in kilowatt-hours. For example, 5 MW⋅hr × 1000 = 5000 kWh.
How many kilowatt-hours are in 1 megawatt-hour?
1 megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) is equal to 1000 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
How do I convert kilowatt-hours back to megawatt-hour?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in kilowatt-hours by 1000 to get the result in megawatt-hour.
How accurate is the megawatt-hour to kilowatt-hours 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.
