If you are using EP-Launch, go to VIEW .. OPTIONS .. MISCELLANEOUS and check "Convert ESO/MTR to IP Units" and that will convert all output variables that have the string "elec" in their name to be output in kWh.
That option calls a program called convertESOMTR.exe which is located in the directory:

You could change the convert.txt file to make all J values convert to kWh.kWh. To do this move the line:
conv,J,kWh,2.77778E-07,0
to before the line:
conv,J,kBtu,9.4845E-07,0
