How to convert kilowatt-hours to joules

Multiply the value in kWh by 3,600,000: the result is in J.

J = kWh × 3,600,000The other way round, 1 J = 0.000000277778 kWh.

Where these two units are used

The kilowatt-hour is the unit of the electricity bill the world over, without belonging to the international system: it is exactly 3.6 megajoules. The joule is one newton-meter and bears the name of James Joule, whose 1845 experiment showed that a falling weight and a burning flame do the same thing. No electricity bill in the world is written in joules although the SI would want it: the meter was born before the joule prevailed, and it would have had to print 3.6 million units where it prints one.
