You may copy the resulting Kilowatts value using the Copy button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
Formula
The formula to convert given power from Megawatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Megawatts) × 1e3
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that a data center consumes 3 megawatts (MW) of power to run its servers. Convert this power consumption from megawatts to Kilowatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Megawatts = 3 MW
Converting Power from Megawatts to Kilowatts...
The formula to convert from Megawatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Megawatts) × 1e3
Substitute given Power(Megawatts) = 3 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = 3 × 1e3
Power(Kilowatts) = 3000
Therefore, 3 MW is equal to 3000 kW.
2
Consider that a solar farm generates 10 megawatts (MW) of power. Convert this power generation from megawatts to Kilowatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Megawatts = 10 MW
Converting Power from Megawatts to Kilowatts...
The formula to convert from Megawatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Megawatts) × 1e3
Substitute given Power(Megawatts) = 10 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = 10 × 1e3
Power(Kilowatts) = 10000
Therefore, 10 MW is equal to 10000 kW.

Megawatts
A megawatt (MW) is equal to one million watts. This unit is often used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large-scale facilities. It is a standard unit in the field of energy generation and consumption.
Kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
