FAQ’s

How many kWh is a unit?

A unit of electricity is normally equal to 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is basically the standard unit of measurement for electricity consumption and is used by utilities to measure and bill for the electricity that a customer uses.

One unit of electricity is equal to the amount of electricity required to power a 1,000 watt appliance for one hour. So, if you have a 100 watt light bulb that is turned on for 10 hours, you would have used 1 unit of electricity (100 watts * 10 hours = 1,000 watt-hours = 1 kWh).
