How to use kilowatt in a sentence?

1. Rachel Kyte:

   There are quite substantial amounts of money on the table, but that money has to be translated into kilowatt hours and (more) people connected really quite quickly.

2. Peng Peng:

   We estimate that over the course of the first six months, 4.2 billion kilowatt hours of wind and solar power has been wasted, which is equivalent to New Zealand’s electricity use in the whole year of 2015.

3. Mohamud Farah:

   Unless we get battery storage, we cannot stop using fossil fuel, and the cost per kilowatt hour when we get the 100 MW will still depend on storage batteries.

4. Doug Adams:

   We think we can lower the cost of maintenance by two to three cents per kilowatt hour. That is a game changer from standpoint of the viability of wind energy. It becomes absolutely competitive with the fossil fuels that we rely on today, without subsidies it starts to become cost competitive.

5. Robert Habeck:

   We are in a situation where, I have to say this clearly, every kilowatt hour of energy saved helps.
