Gigawatt-hour to Gigajoule Conversion Formula

To convert from Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Gigajoule (GJ), use the following formula:

 Gigajoule (GJ)\textbf{ Gigajoule} \text{ (GJ)}

=60×60×109×1109× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

=3600× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 3600\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Gigajoule (GJ).

Using the formula:

5×3600=180005 \times 3600 = 18000

Therefore, 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is equal to 1800018000 Gigajoule (GJ).
