Kilowatts to Megawatts Conversion
Enter the power in kilowatts below to get the value converted to megawatts.
How to Convert Kilowatts to Megawatts
To convert a kilowatt measurement to a megawatt measurement, divide the power by the conversion ratio.
Since one megawatt is equal to 1,000 kilowatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The power in megawatts is equal to the kilowatts divided by 1,000.
Kilowatts and megawatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Kilowatts
One kilowatt is the power equal to 1,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000 joules per second.
The kilowatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for 103. Kilowatts can be abbreviated as kW; for example, 1 kilowatt can be written as 1 kW.
Megawatts
One megawatt is the power equal to 1,000,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000,000 joules per second.
The megawatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megawatts can be abbreviated as MW; for example, 1 megawatt can be written as 1 MW.
