MW to kW Calculator and kW to MW
Convert megawatts to kilowatts and watts, or back the other way. These are all units of power (capacity), so it's a simple decimal shift: 1 MW = 1,000 kW = 1,000,000 W. Common when reading utility, solar-farm, or generator ratings.
Power units: 1 MW = 1,000 kW = 1,000,000 W. This converts power (capacity). For energy over time, megawatt-hours to kilowatt-hours, use the MWh to kWh converter.
