One Kilowatt is equal to one thousand Watts of electrical energy. One kilowatt hour is equal to one kilowatt being using or generated continuously for one hour. Ten 100 watt light bulbs left on for one hour is equal to one kilowatt hour (kWh). Also, 5 of those 100 watt light bulbs left on for two hours uses one kilowatt of energy but its energy usage rate would be half - 1/2 kWh.
