Megawatts to kilowatts
1 megawatt in kilowatts
1 MW = 1,000 kW
kW = MW × 1,000
To convert megawatts to kilowatts, multiply by 1,000. 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 kW = MW × 1,000. Both units measure power, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.
Common questions
- How many kilowatts are in one megawatt?
- One megawatt equals 1,000 kilowatts. kW = MW × 1,000.
- How do you convert megawatts to kilowatts?
- Use kW = MW × 1,000. So 10 MW is 10,000 kW.
- How many megawatts are in one kilowatt?
- One kilowatt equals 0.001 megawatts, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
