Megawatt-hour to megajoule Conversion
1 megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) is equal to 3600 megajoule (MJ).
1 MW⋅hr = 3600 MJ
or
1 MJ = 0.0002777777778 MW⋅hr
Formula
To convert a energy from megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) to megajoule (MJ), multiply the energy in megawatt-hour by 3600
e(MJ) = e(MW⋅hr) × 3600
Examples:
Convert 1000 megawatt-hour to megajoule:
e(MJ) = 1000MW⋅hr × 3600 = 3600000 MJ

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert megawatt-hour to megajoule?
Multiply the value in megawatt-hour by 3600 to get the result in megajoule. For example, 5 MW⋅hr × 3600 = 18000 MJ.
How many megajoule are in 1 megawatt-hour?
1 megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) is equal to 3600 megajoule (MJ).
How do I convert megajoule back to megawatt-hour?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in megajoule by 3600 to get the result in megawatt-hour.
How accurate is the megawatt-hour to megajoule conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 3600 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
