Gigawatt-hour to Megawatt-hour Conversion Formula

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

 Megawatt-hour (MWh)\textbf{ Megawatt-hour} \text{ (MWh)}

=60×60×109×160×60×106× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{60 \times 60 \times 10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

=1000× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 1000\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Megawatt-hour (MWh).

Using the formula:

5×1000=50005 \times 1000 = 5000

Therefore, 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is equal to 50005000 Megawatt-hour (MWh).
