Megawatt-hours to Megajoules Conversion
Enter the energy in megawatt-hours below to get the value converted to megajoules.
How to Convert Megawatt-hours to Megajoules
To convert a megawatt-hour measurement to a megajoule measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio. One megawatt-hour is equal to 3,600 megajoules, so use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in megajoules is equal to the megawatt-hours multiplied by 3,600.
Megawatt-hours and megajoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Megawatt-hours
A megawatt-hour is a measure of electrical energy equal to one megawatt, or 1,000,000 watts, of power over a one hour period. Megawatt-hours are a measure of electrical work performed over a period of time, and are often used as a way of measuring energy usage by electric companies.
Megawatt-hours can be abbreviated as MWh, for example 1 megawatt-hour can be written as 1 MWh.
Megajoules
One megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The megajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megajoules can be abbreviated as MJ, for example 1 megajoule can be written as 1 MJ.
