Formula

Formula
Wh = MWh × 1000000

Multiply any value in megawatt-hours by 1000000 to obtain the value in watt-hours.

Worked example

Convert 1 MWh to Wh.

  1. 01Start with 1 MWh.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 Wh.
Result1 MWh = 1.00000e+6 Wh

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from MWh to Wh?
1 MWh equals 1000000 Wh. To convert, multiply the value in megawatt-hours by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 MWh to Wh?
1 MWh = 1.00000e+6 Wh. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert Wh back to MWh?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 Wh = 1e-6 MWh.
When would I need to convert megawatt-hour to watt-hour?
Energy conversions are needed when reconciling fuel/electrical billing, calculating thermal duties, and aligning calorimetry or HHV/LHV figures across data sources.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
