Enter the power in megawatts below to get the value converted to kilowatts.
How to Convert Megawatts to Kilowatts
To convert a megawatt measurement to a kilowatt measurement, multiply the power by the conversion ratio. One megawatt is equal to 1,000 kilowatts, so use this simple formula to convert:
The power in kilowatts is equal to the megawatts multiplied by 1,000.
Megawatts and kilowatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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.
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.
