Question: is kwh the same as watts?
Answer: Watt is the unit of power whereas kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the unit of energy. Watt indicates the rate of using energy in J/s. You can compare this to how fast water is flowing out of a water pipe. ... A 100 watt light bulb when used for an hour will consume 100 Watt-hour of energy which is 0.1 kWh of energy.
