Convert Kilowatts to Megawatts

Kilowatts → Megawatts
kW × 0.001 = MW MW × 1000 = kW

To convert kilowatts (kW) to megawatts (MW), multiply the kilowatts value by 0.001. 1 kW = 0.001 MW, and 1 MW = 1000 kW. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert MW to kW.
