Natural Gas – m3 to kWh (cubic metres to kilowatt-hour)

Convert natural-gas volume in m³ to energy in kWh using the calorific value. 100 m³ at CV 10 = 1000 kWh; typical CV range is 8–12 kWh/m³.

How to convert m³ of gas to kWh

kWh = m³ × calorific value (kWh/m³). The CV depends on gas composition and is set by your supplier.

Common mistake

Using a fixed factor. The same 1000 m³ is 8000 kWh at CV 8 but 12 000 kWh at CV 12 — a 50% spread. Use the CV printed on your gas bill.
