kW (kilowatts) – the unit of measurement for calculating the electricity supply to your property. 1 kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts. kL (kilolitres) – the unit of measurement for calculating the water supply to your property. 1 kilolitre is equal to 1,000 litres. MJ (megajoules) – the unit of measurement for calculating the natural gas supply to your property. 1 megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules. In application: It takes approximately one megajoule (1,000,000 joules) to boil enough hot water for 14 cups of tea (3.5 litres of water). For more information see the ActewAGL education website.
