MWh to kWh Calculator
Convert megawatt-hours to kilowatt-hours (and back) — plus watt-hours and gigawatt-hours. These are all units of energy; a megawatt-hour is simply 1,000 kilowatt-hours. Enter a value in any unit to see the rest.
1 MWh = 1,000 kWh · 1 kWh = 1,000 Wh · 1 GWh = 1,000,000 kWh. These are energy units (power over time) — the kWh is what your utility bills.
