==Kilowatt-hour==
A kilowatt-hour is a unit of [[energy]] equal to outputting one thousand watts for one hour. It is equal to 3,600,000 Joules. The kilowatt hour is the unit of measurement for a residential power bill, and we usually use kilowatt hours for personal energy use. It is abbreviated kWh.

==Terawatt-hour==
A terawatt-hour is a unit of energy equal to outputting one trillion watts for one hour. It is equal to 3.6x10<sup>15</sup> Joules. This value is large enough to express annual [[electricity generation]] for entire countries, and is often used when describing major energy production or consumption.
