How to Convert Megajoules to Kilowatt-Hours
To convert a measurement in megajoules to a measurement in kilowatt-hours, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 0.277778 kilowatt-hours/megajoule.
Since one megajoule is equal to 0.277778 kilowatt-hours, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilowatt-hours = megajoules × 0.277778
The energy in kilowatt-hours is equal to the energy in megajoules multiplied by 0.277778.
How Many Kilowatt-Hours Are in a Megajoule?
There are 0.277778 kilowatt-hours in a megajoule, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 MJ = 0.277778 kWh
Megajoules and kilowatt-hours are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Megajoule?
One megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules, which is the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The megajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Megajoules can be abbreviated as MJ; for example, 1 megajoule can be written as 1 MJ.

What Is a Kilowatt-Hour?
A kilowatt-hour is a measure of electrical energy equal to one kilowatt, or 1,000 watts, of power over a one hour period. Kilowatt-hours are a measure of electrical work performed over a period of time, and are often used as a way of measuring energy usage by electric companies.
Kilowatt-hours are usually abbreviated as kWh, although the formally adopted expression is kW·h. The abbreviation kW h is also sometimes used. For example, 1 kilowatt-hour can be written as 1 kWh, 1 kW·h, or 1 kW h.
In formal expressions, the centered dot (·) or space is used to separate units used to indicate multiplication in an expression and to avoid conflicting prefixes being misinterpreted as a unit symbol.[1]
