Megawatt-hour (MWh)

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 kilowatt-hours, commonly used for reporting larger-scale or portfolio-wide consumption.

Definition

A megawatt-hour (MWh) equals 1,000 kWh, and is typically used when reporting aggregated consumption across a large site, multiple sites, or a full year — where kWh figures would otherwise become unwieldy to read.

Why It Matters

MWh is the practical unit for portfolio-level or annual consumption and emissions reporting, keeping figures readable at scale.
