Joule to Megawatt Hour Calculator

Convert energy from Joules (J) to Megawatt Hours (MWh)

How to Convert Joules to Megawatt-Hours

To convert joules (J) to megawatt-hours (MWh), you need to relate the two units of energy. A watt-hour (Wh) is the energy delivered by 1 watt of power over 1 hour, and a megawatt-hour is 1 million watt-hours.

Formula

MWh = J ร— 2.7778 ร— 10-10
MWh = Energy in megawatt-hours
J = Energy in joules

Quick Trick: 1 Joule = 2.7778 ร— 10-10 Megawatt-Hours!

Let’s Solve One Together

Imagine you have an energy measurement:

  • We measured: 7,200,000,000 joules

Here’s how we figure it out:

1. Take our formula: MWh = J ร— 2.7778 ร— 10-10

2. Put in 7,200,000,000 joules

3. MWh = 7,200,000,000 ร— 2.7778 ร— 10-10

Answer: 0.002 MWh

Definitions of Key Terms

Megawatt-Hour (MWh)

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one million watts used for one hour. It is commonly used to measure electricity consumption and production, providing a useful reference for understanding large-scale energy usage, such as in power plants.

Joules (J)

The joule is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton moves an object one meter. Joules are widely used in physics and engineering to measure energy, work, and heat.
