Kilowatts to Megawatts Converter

1 kilowatt (kW) equals 0.001 megawatts (MW).

Quick answer

  • 1 kilowatt = 0.001 megawatts
  • 1 megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts
  • Formula: MW = kW ÷ 1,000

1 kilowatt = 0.001 megawatts

How to convert kilowatts to megawatts

MW = kW ÷ 1,000

To convert kilowatts to megawatts, divide the number of kilowatts by 1,000.

Example: 18 kW to MW

  1. Start with the value in kilowatts: 18 kW.
  2. Divide by 1,000: 18 ÷ 1,000 = 0.018.
  3. Result: 18 kilowatts = 0.018 megawatts.

Going the other way, 1 megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts, so to convert megawatts back to kilowatts you multiply by the same number. See megawatts to kilowatts.
