# 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.
