kilowatt-hours
Electricity bill measure
A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy equal to one kilowatt of power sustained for one hour.
Electric utilities bill customers by kilowatt-hours consumed: Our monthly usage averaged 900 kilowatt-hours.
The term measures total energy used, not the rate of use—running a 100-watt bulb for ten hours consumes one kilowatt-hour.
Abbreviated kWh.
