What this calculator does
Converts a measurement given in megawatts into kilowatts using the defined conversion factor.
What your result means
The same quantity expressed in kW instead of MW. Nothing about the measurement itself changes.
Formula and working
kW = MW × 1,000
- 1
Start with your value
10 MW
- 2
Convert to watt
10 × 1,000,000 = 10,000,000 W
- 3
Convert into kilowatts
10,000,000 ÷ 1,000 = 10,000 kW
- 4
Result
10 MW = 10,000 kW
