Kilowatts to megawatts

1 kilowatt in megawatts
1 kW = 0.001 MW
MW = kW × 0.001

To convert kilowatts to megawatts, multiply by 0.001. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works

The relationship is MW = kW × 0.001. Both units measure power, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many megawatts are in one kilowatt?
One kilowatt equals 0.001 megawatts. MW = kW × 0.001.
How do you convert kilowatts to megawatts?
Use MW = kW × 0.001. So 10 kW is 0.01 MW.
How many kilowatts are in one megawatt?
One megawatt equals 1,000 kilowatts, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
