How to Convert Watt-Hours to Megawatt-Hours
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in watt-hours to a measurement in megawatt-hours, divide the energy by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000 watt-hours/megawatt-hour.
Since one megawatt-hour is equal to 1,000,000 watt-hours, you can use this simple formula to convert:
megawatt-hours = watt-hours ÷ 1,000,000
The energy in megawatt-hours is equal to the energy in watt-hours divided by 1,000,000.
Watt-hours and megawatt-hours are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Watt-Hour?
The watt-hour is a measure of electrical energy equal to one watt of power over a one hour period.
Watt-hours are usually abbreviated as Wh, although the formally adopted expression is W·h. The abbreviation W h is also sometimes used. For example, 1 watt-hour can be written as 1 Wh, 1 W·h, or 1 W h.
In formal expressions, the centered dot (·) or space is used to separate units used to indicate multiplication in an expression and to avoid conflicting prefixes being misinterpreted as a unit symbol.[1]

What Is a Megawatt-Hour?
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 are usually abbreviated as MWh, although the formally adopted expression is MW·h. The abbreviation MW h is also sometimes used. For example, 1 megawatt-hour can be written as 1 MWh, 1 MW·h, or 1 MW h.
