How the formula works
Both kilovolt and terawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilovolts by 1.000000e-09 to get terawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a terawatt value by 1.000000e+09 to get back to kilovolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
What is Terawatt (TW)?
A Terawatt (TW) equals 1e+12 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for tera-scale electrical work.
How do I convert kilovolts to terawatts?
Multiply the kilovolt value by 1.000000e-09 to get the equivalent in terawatts. For example, 5 kV × 1.000000e-09 = 5.000000e-09 TW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-09 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert terawatts back to kilovolts?
Yes. Divide the terawatt value by 1.000000e-09, or multiply it by 1.000000e+09, to get kilovolts.
