===Meaning===
'''Kilowatts''' ('''kJkW''') are a [[unit]] of [[power]] 1,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Watt]].
===About Kilowatts===
: '''Kilowatts''' are shortened to '''kJkW''' with a lower case k and an upper case JW.
: [[Kilo]] means one thousand so there are 1,000 [[Watt]]s in a [[kilowatt]].
