Kilojoules to Megawatt-Hours Converter

Understanding Energy Conversion

What is a Kilojoule (kJ)?

A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. It's commonly used in scientific measurements and food energy content. One kilojoule represents the energy needed to move an object against a force of one newton for one meter.

What is a Megawatt-Hour (MWh)?

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1,000,000 watts) of power sustained for one hour. It's commonly used by power companies to measure large-scale electricity consumption and generation.

Conversion Formula

To convert kilojoules to megawatt-hours, use the following formula:

MWh = kJ ÷ 3,600,000
