1 kJ = 2.77777777778 × 10⁻⁷ MWh

Show the working
  1. 1 kJ = 2.77777777778e-7 MWh
  2. 1 × 2.77777777778e-7 = 2.77777777778e-7 MWh

How to convert kilojoules to megawatt-hours

1 MWh = 3,600,000 kJ, so divide by 3,600,000 to go from kilojoules to megawatt-hours (1 kJ = 2.77777777778 × 10⁻⁷ MWh).

MWh = kJ ÷ 3,600,000
kJ = MWh × 3,600,000

Worked example:

1 kJ = 2.77777777778e-7 MWh
5 × 2.77777777778e-7 = 1.38888888889e-6 MWh
