Some confusion here.
A kilowat is 1000 watts of electrical power.
What is a kilowatt hour?
Before we see how much electricity costs, we have to understand how it's measured. When you buy gas they charge you by the gallon. When you buy electricity they charge you by the kilowatt-hour (kWh). When you use 1000 watts for 1 hour, that's a kilowatt-hour.
So what do you mean when you state "A new rebate would give customers $3,000 back for every one kilowatt they use."? Be clear!!
