Gigawatt-hour to Kilojoule Conversion Formula

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

 Kilojoule (kJ)\textbf{ Kilojoule} \text{ (kJ)}

=60×60×109×11000× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

=3600000000× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 3600000000\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Kilojoule (kJ).

Using the formula:

5×3600000000=180000000005 \times 3600000000 = 18000000000

Therefore, 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is equal to 1800000000018000000000 Kilojoule (kJ).

What is a Gigawatt-hour (GWh)?

A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 3600000000000 Joules (J). The plural form is Gigawatt-hours.

What is a Kilojoule (kJ)?
