The kilowatt-hour (symbolized kWâh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power sustained for one hour.One watt is equal to 1 J/s. One kilowatt-hour is 3.6 megajoules, which is the amount of energy converted if work is done at an average rate of one thousand watts for one hour.Note that the international standard SI unit of energy is the joule.ne watt is equal to 1 J/s. One kilowatt-hour is 3.6 megajoules, which is the amount of energy converted if work is done at an average rate of one thousand watts for one hour.
A kilowatt is simply 1,000 watts, which is a measure of power. So, for example, the 10,000 watt electric shower in the top bullet point above could also be called a 10 kilowatt shower. A kilowatt hour (kWh) is a measure of energy. So a 1,000 watt drill needs 1,000 watts (1 kW) of power to make it work, and uses 1 kWh of energy in an hour. Thatâs why, if you leave a TV or computer on standby, it is still using power and creating a kWh cost on your energy bill.
