MWh to GJ | Convert Megawatt-hour to Gigajoule

Megawatt-hour to Gigajoule Conversion Formula

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

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

$= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Megawatt-hour} \text{ (MWh)}$

$= 3.6\times \textbf{ Megawatt-hour} \text{ (MWh)}$

Example

Let's convert 5 Megawatt-hour (MWh) to Gigajoule (GJ).

Using the formula:

$5 \times 3.6 = 18$

Therefore, 5 Megawatt-hour (MWh) is equal to $18$ Gigajoule (GJ).
