First things first. The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is not a unit of power. It is a unit of energy. Here's why: The kW is a unit of power. It is 1000 W or 1000 J/s. By definition:
Rearranging this we get energy = power × time If we choose to measure power in kW and time in hours, we have: energy (kWh) = power (kW) × time (h)
