Gigawatt-hour to Megajoule Conversion Formula

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

 Megajoule (MJ)\textbf{ Megajoule} \text{ (MJ)}

=60×60×109×1106× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

=3600000× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 3600000\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Megajoule (MJ).

Using the formula:

5×3600000=180000005 \times 3600000 = 18000000

Therefore, 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is equal to 1800000018000000 Megajoule (MJ).
