How many kWh is natural gas?
The average home in Alberta uses 600 kWh of electricity and 10 GJ of natural gas every month. But what does that mean? Electricity is measured by kilowatt-hour or kWh. One kWh is the amount of energy 1,000 watts consumes in an hour.
What is the equivalent of 1 kWh electricity?
1,000 joules
That’s a measure of power. If you use one kilowatt of power for an hour, you have used 1 kilowatt-hour, abbreviated kWh, of energy. One kilowatt-hour is equivalent to the energy of 1,000 joules used for 3,600 seconds or 3.6 million Joules. In equation form: 1 kWh = 3.6 million J.
How do you convert gas to kWh?
How do I convert gas units to kWh?
- Take a meter reading, and then subtract the new meter reading from the previous reading to work out the volume of gas used.
- Convert from imperial to metric by multiplying the units by 2.83.
- Multiply by volume correction factor (1.02264)
- Multiply by calorific value (40.0)
How do I convert natural gas to kWh?
Enter a new kilowatt hour number to convert How many cubic feet of natural gas are in 1 kilowatt hour? The answer is: 1 kWh equals 3.41 cu ft N.G.
Can I convert kWh to kW?
How to convert energy in kilowatt-hour (kWh) to electric power in kilowatts (kW). You can calculate kilowatt from kilowatt-hour and hours, but you can’t convert kilowatt-hour to kilowatt, since kilowatt-hour and kilowatt units represent different quantities.
How do you convert kWh into kW?
How Do You Calculate kWh vs. kW?
- Divide the wattage by 1,000 to calculate kW: 1500 watts 1,000 = 1.5 kW.
- Multiply the kilowatts by the hours of daily use: 1.5 kW X 2 hours = 3 kWh per day.
- Find the total energy usage for a month (30 days): 3 kWh X 30 days = 90 kWh per month.
How many kW are in a kJ?
3600 kJ
Kilowatt to Kilojoule/hour Conversion Table

| 2 kW | 7200 kJ/h |
| 3 kW | 10800 kJ/h |
| 5 kW | 18000 kJ/h |
What is kWh in electricity meter?
The most common unit of measurement on the electricity meter is the kilowatt hour [kWh], which is equal to the amount of energy used by a load of one kilowatt over a period of one hour, or 3,600,000 joules. Reactive power is measured in “thousands of volt-ampere reactive-hours”, (kvarh).
