# 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.
