Megawatts to Horsepower Converter

1 megawatt (MW) equals 1,341.0220896 horsepower (hp).

Quick answer

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

1 megawatt = 1,341.02209 horsepower

How to convert megawatts to horsepower

hp = MW × 1,341.0220896

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

Example: 18 MW to hp

  1. Start with the value in megawatts: 18 MW.
  2. Multiply by 1,341.0220896: 18 × 1,341.0220896 = 24,138.39761.
  3. Result: 18 megawatts = 24,138.39761 horsepower.

Going the other way, 1 horsepower = 0.000745699872 megawatts, so to convert horsepower back to megawatts you divide by the same number. See horsepower to megawatts.
