Energy

Wh to kWh conversion

Convert watt-hour (Wh) to kilowatt-hour (kWh). Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat — the currency of every heat and material balance.

1 Wh = 0.001 kWh

Formula

To convert watt-hour to kilowatt-hour, multiply the Wh value by 0.001. To go the other way, divide by 0.001 (or multiply by 1000).

Used in practice

Heat duties integrate to energy in kJ, MJ, or BTU; utilities are billed in kWh or MMBTU.

A calorie, a BTU, and a joule are all energy — keep the conversion factors handy when a spec mixes them.

Worked example. A energy of 1000 Wh is 1 kWh.
