The correct capitalization for the abbreviation is kW because the unit of a Watt is named after a person. The correct capitalization of the whole word is kilowatt.

The name of the unit honours James Watt (1736-1819), the British engineer whose improvements to the steam engine are often credited with igniting the Industrial Revolution.
