Megawatt-hour to Gigawatt-hour Conversion Formula

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

 Gigawatt-hour (GWh)\textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

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

=0.001× Megawatt-hour (MWh)= 0.001\times \textbf{ Megawatt-hour} \text{ (MWh)}

Example

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

Using the formula:

5×0.001=0.0055 \times 0.001 = 0.005

Therefore, 5 Megawatt-hour (MWh) is equal to 0.0050.005 Gigawatt-hour (GWh).

What is a Megawatt-hour (MWh)?
