Megawatts to Kilowatts Converter

1 megawatt (MW) equals 1,000 kilowatts (kW).

Quick answer

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

1 megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts

How to convert megawatts to kilowatts

kW = MW × 1,000

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

Example: 18 MW to kW

  1. Start with the value in megawatts: 18 MW.
  2. Multiply by 1,000: 18 × 1,000 = 18,000.
  3. Result: 18 megawatts = 18,000 kilowatts.

Going the other way, 1 kilowatt = 0.001 megawatts, so to convert kilowatts back to megawatts you divide by the same number. See kilowatts to megawatts.
