1 kWh equals exactly
0,001 MWh
The kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the megawatt-hour (MWh) are both units of electrical energy, used at different scales: the kWh for household consumption, the MWh for industrial consumption or power plant production. Since 'mega' means one million and 'kilo' means one thousand, one MWh contains exactly 1,000 kWh.
To convert a measurement from kWh to MWh, simply divide the value by 1,000:
To convert from MWh to kWh, perform the inverse operation, multiplying by 1,000:
The kWh is the unit for household bills, while the MWh is the standard for measuring power plant production, large-scale industrial consumption, and wholesale energy trading. Knowing this relationship is useful for comparing consumption or production data at very different scales.
