Kilowatt to Megawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Megawatt (MW), use the following formula:

 Megawatt (MW)\textbf{ Megawatt} \text{ (MW)}

=1000×1106× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt} \text{ (kW)}

=11000× Kilowatt (kW)= \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt} \text{ (kW)}

=0.001× Kilowatt (kW)= 0.001\times \textbf{ Kilowatt} \text{ (kW)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Kilowatt (kW) to Megawatt (MW).

Using the formula:

5×0.001=0.0055 \times 0.001 = 0.005

Therefore, 5 Kilowatt (kW) is equal to 0.0050.005 Megawatt (MW).
