Explanation

megajoules 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 megajoules = 0.2777777778 kilowatt-hours, and 1 kilowatt-hours = 3.6 megajoules. Because one kilowatt-hours represents a larger amount than one megajoules, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert megajoules to kilowatt-hours

  1. Enter the value in megajoules (MJ).
  2. Multiply it by 0.2777777778.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

7985 × 0.2777777778 = 2218.05555556 kilowatt-hours
