Conversion from MWh to kWh

Knowledge required for conversion

• Before you start converting MWh into kWh, you should know what it is actually about.
• MWh means megawatt hours, kWh kilowatt hours.
• You need the watt-hours in everyday life to measure power consumption.
• If you want to know how much electricity you are using, you can use a meter in the house or a measuring device You connect to a specific household appliance, read off how much electricity your household or the device is using consumed.
• You can also use this number to find out more about electricity prices. about the total amount you have to pay for your electricity per year. This also gives you the opportunity to compare electricity prices and electricity providers with one another.

• Kilowatt hours should be the measure for most households. MWh, i.e. megawatt hours, are mainly used for companies or apartment buildings or are of interest to electricity companies. For example, if you specify the output of a power plant, it would be better in MWh, because MWh is a larger unit than kWh.

Calculation example MWh in kWh

• To convert MWh into kWh, what generally means for converting "mega" into "kilo" applies. "Mega" stands for a million, "kilo" for a thousand, so MWh is a million watt hours and kWh is a thousand watt hours.
• Accordingly, to convert MWh to kWh, you have to multiply the value by 1000, because a million is a thousand times a thousand.
• So if you want to convert 2.5 MWh, the result is: 2.5 * 1000 = 2500. 2.5 MWh therefore correspond to 2500 kWh. Likewise 0.04 MWh = 40 kWh.
• Conversely, the conversion works the same way. If kWh are given and you want to calculate the MWh, simply divide the value by 1000.
• In order to save a lot of zeros or decimal places, one should convert depending on the size of the number into MWh or kWh.
