1 kilowatt-hour in megajoule

1 kilowatt-hour equals 3.6 megajoule as a pure energy equivalence on NiftyRecipe.

Kilowatt-hours measure delivered electrical energy. Expressing them as kcal, kJ, MJ or BTU is physics only-not a forecast of what a household pays. The factor is 1 kilowatt-hour = 3.6 megajoule, so this amount is 3.6 megajoule. Reverse: 1 megajoule ≈ 0.277778 kilowatt-hour. Note that 1 kWh is exactly 3.6 MJ.

Use the calculator for teaching examples or rough comparisons. For tariffs and bills, use your utility’s tools; for unit math, stay with the constant factor here.
