Thanks John.

I had never heard that lowercase k + W meant "thousandth" either.

It is on my electric bill every month, as kWh (Kilowatt hours) of usage. This is Kilowatts
(1000 watts) per hour, used.

Perhaps they have some odd standard in the UK?

According to my friends there the UK has a lot of odd things,
including standards. But I still think that it is a kilowatt.
