There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a
unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour.
That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies
division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10
kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.

It is a unit of energy. If energy is transferred at a rate
(power) of one kilowatt, during one hour, then one kilowatt-hour
(kilowatt times hour) of energy will be transferred. Since a joule
is equal to a watt-second, a kilowatt-hour is the same as 3.6
million joules.

In North America it is kilowatt/hour. A kilowatt is 1000 watts.
To find out how much your utility company charges you per
kilowatt/hour, look on your utility bill. On my bill it is .08
cents for every kilowatt/hour that I consume.

Kilowatt is a measure of the rate of energy use. It is 1,000 Watts or 1,000 Joules per second. A kilowatt hour is 1,000 Joules per second for 3,600 seconds or 3,600,000 Joules. This means a Kilowatt hour not a rate but a measure of total energy used.
