Convert Megawatts to Kilowatts

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

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

Going the other way? Convert kW to MW.
