Convert Kilowatts to Watts

Kilowatts → Watts
kW × 1000 = W W × 0.001 = kW

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

Going the other way? Convert W to kW.
