Kilowatt-hour to Gigajoule Conversion Formula

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

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

=60×60×1000×1109× Kilowatt-hour (kWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 1000 \times \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt-hour} \text{ (kWh)}

=0.0036× Kilowatt-hour (kWh)= 0.0036\times \textbf{ Kilowatt-hour} \text{ (kWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Kilowatt-hour (kWh) to Gigajoule (GJ).

Using the formula:

5×0.0036=0.0185 \times 0.0036 = 0.018

Therefore, 5 Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to 0.0180.018 Gigajoule (GJ).

What is a Kilowatt-hour (kWh)?

A Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 3600000 Joules (J). The plural form is Kilowatt-hours.

What is a Gigajoule (GJ)?
