Megawatts to Kilowatts (MW to kW)
Convert megawatts to kilowatts: 1 MW = 1000 kW. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 MW = 1000 kW
kilowatts = megawatts × 1000 — reverse: megawatts = kilowatts × 0.001
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: W) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 5 MW = 5000 kW
- 12.5 MW = 12500 kW
- 100 MW = 100000 kW

FAQ
How many kilowatts are in one megawatt?
1 MW = 1000 kW. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.
What is the formula to convert megawatts to kilowatts?
Multiply the value in megawatts by 1000: kilowatts = megawatts × 1000. For example, 5 MW = 5000 kW.
How do I convert kilowatts back to megawatts?
Multiply by the inverse factor 0.001 (megawatts = kilowatts × 0.001), or use the kilowatts-to-megawatts page.
