1 MWh equals exactly
1.000 kWh
This is the inverse operation compared to the kWh → MWh conversion. The megawatt-hour is used for amounts of energy much larger than the kilowatt-hour from household bills, for example for power plant production or industrial plant consumption.
To convert a measurement from MWh to kWh, simply multiply the value by 1,000:
To convert from kWh to MWh, perform the inverse operation, dividing by 1,000:
This inverse conversion is useful for starting from industrial production or consumption data expressed in MWh (for example reports from a power plant or large facility) and translating them into kWh to compare with more familiar household-scale consumption.
