Horsepower to Megawatts Converter

1 horsepower (hp) equals 0.000745699872 megawatts (MW).

Quick answer

  • 1 horsepower = 0.000745699872 megawatts
  • 1 megawatt = 1,341.02209 horsepower
  • Formula: MW = hp ÷ 1,341.0220896

1 horsepower = 0.000745699872 megawatts

How to convert horsepower to megawatts

MW = hp ÷ 1,341.0220896

To convert horsepower to megawatts, divide the number of horsepower by 1,341.0220896.

Example: 18 hp to MW

  1. Start with the value in horsepower: 18 hp.
  2. Divide by 1,341.0220896: 18 ÷ 1,341.0220896 = 0.01342259769.
  3. Result: 18 horsepower = 0.01342259769 megawatts.

Going the other way, 1 megawatt = 1,341.0220896 horsepower, so to convert megawatts back to horsepower you multiply by the same number. See megawatts to horsepower.
