1 kcal = 1.16222222222 × 10⁻⁶ MWh

Show the working
  1. 1 kcal = 1.16222222222e-6 MWh
  2. 1 × 1.16222222222e-6 = 1.16222222222e-6 MWh

How to convert kilocalories to megawatt-hours

1 kcal = 1.16222222222 × 10⁻⁶ MWh, so multiply by 1.16222222222 to go from kilocalories (food Calories) to megawatt-hours. Going the other way, 1 MWh = 860,420.650096 kcal.

MWh = kcal × 1.16222222222
kcal = MWh × 860,420.650096

Worked example:

1 kcal = 1.16222222222e-6 MWh
5 × 1.16222222222e-6 = 5.81111111111e-6 MWh
