Explanation

kilojoules and kilowatt-hours are units of energy. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 kilojoules = 0.0002777778 kilowatt-hours, and 1 kilowatt-hours = 3600 kilojoules. Because one kilowatt-hours represents a larger amount than one kilojoules, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert kilojoules to kilowatt-hours

  1. Enter the value in kilojoules (kJ).
  2. Multiply it by 0.0002777778.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

5021 × 0.0002777778 = 1.39472222 kilowatt-hours
