How to Convert Megawatts to Kilowatts
To convert a measurement in megawatts to a measurement in kilowatts, multiply the power by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 kilowatts/megawatt.
Since one megawatt is equal to 1,000 kilowatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilowatts = megawatts × 1,000
The power in kilowatts is equal to the power in megawatts multiplied by 1,000.
How Many Kilowatts Are in a Megawatt?
There are 1,000 kilowatts in a megawatt, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 MW = 1,000 kW
Megawatts and kilowatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Megawatt?
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 millions, or 106. Megawatts can be abbreviated as MW; for example, 1 megawatt can be written as 1 MW.
