The amount of electrical energy required to provide power at one kilowatt (1000 watts) for one hour. A typical person, working relatively hard, can generate around 200 watts of energy. Such a person would take 5 hours to generate one kilowatt hour, and at current typical electricity costs, would earn from 2 to 10 cents for their five hours of effort.

One thousand watts of electricity consumed in one hour; the measure of consumption generally used in billing for electricity. For example: a 100-watt lamp operated for 1000 hours consumes 100 kwh (100 watts x 1000 hours = 100 kwh). At $0.10/kwh, this bulb costs $10.00 to operate (100 kwh x $0.10).

A measure of your electricity consumption. One kilowatt hour is equivalent to 1,000 watt hours or running a 100 Watt light bulb for 10 hours.

A measure of the quantity of energy used. The KW rating of electric equipment is multiplied by the number of hours the equipment is being operated (For example: Ten 100 watt light bulbs used continuously for one hour equal one kWH of use).

The standard measure of electrical energy and the typical billing unit used by electrical utilities for electricity use. A 100-watt lamp operated for 10 hours consumes 1000 watt-hours (100 x 10) or one kilowatt-hour. If the utility charges $.10/kWh, then the electricity cost for the 10 hours of operation would be 10 cents (1 x $.10)

The work performed by one kilowatt of electric power in one hour. The unit on which the price of electrical energy is based.

energy unit used to measure consumption. It equates to the electricity used by a device consuming 1,000W of electricity for one hour.

an energy unit equivalint to 1000watts used for 1 hour. It might be referred to as a unit of electricity = 1 kWh.

A kilowatt hour equals 1,000 watts used for one hour.

This is the most common unit for measuring electric energy. It is the use of 1000 watts for one hour. Electricity rates are most commonly expressed in cents per kilowatt hour.

This is the unit by which power companies charge for electical service. The average national kilowatt hour is approximately $ 0.08. ()

Represents the use of 1,000 watts of electricity for one full hour. It is equivalent to ten 100 watt light bulbs burned simultaneously and continuously for one hour.

A kilowatt hour (kWh) is the amount of kilowatts of electricity used in one hour of operation of any equipment.

The unit of measure for the amount of electricity a customer uses. The amount of electricity needed to run a normal 60-watt light bulb for 16 hours, 40 minutes.

The standard unit to measure electricity; it is the energy equivalent to that expended in one hour by one kilowatt of power. A kilowatt is 1,000 watts of power. For example, ten 100-watt light bulbs lit for one hour use one kilowatt-hour (1,000 watt-hours) of electricity. Your electricity use determines the total number of kilowatt-hours on your bill. The average home in North America uses about 850 kwh each month.

A unit of energy used by the gas industry. Approximately equal to 0.0341 therms. One Megawatt hour (MWh) equals 103 kWh, one Gigawatt hour (GWh) equals 106 kWh, and one Terawatt hour (TWh) equals 109 kWh.

(kWh) A measure of energy equivalent to the expenditure of one kilowatt for one hour. For example, 1 kWh will light a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours. 1 kWh = 3,413 Btu.

A measure of electrical energy equal to one thousand watt-hours.

unit of electricity equivalent to the power of one kilowatt operating for one hour. For example, 10 100-watt light bulbs burning for one hour would consume one kilowatt hour of electricity.

This is a measure of how much electricity is used. For example, one 100 watt light bulb used for 10 hours is 1000 watt hours, or 1 kilowatt hour.

The commercial unit of electric energy; 1000 watt hours. A kilowatt hour can best be visualized as the amount of electricity consumed by ten 100-watt light bulbs burning for an hour. One kilowatt hour is equal to 3.6 million joules.

A measurement of electric energy. A kilowatt hour is equal to 1,000 watts of power used over a period of one hour.

Kwh; One thousand watt-hours.

3,600,000 Joules

A unit of energy defined as a one kilowatt demand for one hour; used for billing of energy usage.

One kW of electrical power used for one hour. The most common measurement of electrical consumption, most grid connected electrical meters measure kW / h for billing purposes.

Measurement of electrical energy equal to one kilowatt of power produced or used in one hour.

The common, unit for measuring electrical energy. Ten, 100 watt bulbs, lighted for one hour, would burn 1 kilowatt hour of electricity. It is abbreviated kWh. W is capitalized, as it stands for the proper name, Watt. This is the way utilities measure and sell electricity, by the kWh.

A measurement of energy. One kilowatt hour is equal to one kilowatt being used for one hour.

One thousand watts of power supplied for one hour. A basic unit of electric energy equal to the use of 1 kilowatt for a period of one hour.

The measure of electrical usage from which electricity billing is determined. For example, a 100-watt bulb operated for 1000 hours would consume 100-kilowatt hours, (100 watts x 1000 hours = 100 kwh). At a billing rate of $0.10 / kwh, this bulb would cost $10.00 (100 kwh x $0.10 / kwh) to operate.

A unit of electric energy or work equal to the use of one kilowatt for one hour.

The most commonly-used unit of measure telling the amount of electricity consumed over time. It means one kilowatt of electricity supplied for one hour. In 1989, a typical California household consumes 534 kWh in an average month. ()

The standard measure of electrical energy and the typical billing unit used by electrical utilities for electricity use. A 100-watt lamp operated for 10 hours consumes 1000 watt-hours (1-- x 10) or 1 kilowatt-hour. If the utility charge $.08/kWh, then the electricity cost for the 10 hours of operation would be 8 cents (1 x $.08).

One thousand watt-hours. A unit of energy. Power multiplied by time equals energy.

The use of 1,000 watts of electricity for one full hour. 1 kWh = ten 100 watt bulbs all burning at the same time for one hour. 10 bulbs x 100 watts each x 1 hour = 1,000 watts hours or 1kWh.
