Megawatt-Hour to Gigawatt-Hour Converter
How to Convert Megawatt-hours (MWh) to Gigawatt-hours (GWh)
To convert Megawatt-hours (MWh) to Gigawatt-hours (GWh), use the formula:
MWh to GWh Calculation Formula
GWh = MWh ÷ 1000Where:
- MWh = Megawatt-hours, a unit of energy equal to one million watts used for one hour.
- GWh = Gigawatt-hours, a unit of energy equivalent to one billion watt-hours. For more information, visit this CEVA Logistics page.
Example Calculation
If you have a total energy consumption of 2500 MWh, the calculation would be:
GWh = 2500 MWh ÷ 1000 = 2.5 GWhWhat is a Megawatt-hour (MWh)?
A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a substantial unit of energy that we often use in industrial and commercial settings. One MWh represents the energy consumed when one megawatt (1,000,000 watts) of power is used for one hour.
What is a Gigawatt-hour (GWh)?
A gigawatt-hour is a larger unit of energy that equals 1,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) or 1,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). It is often used to track energy production and consumption on a national or regional scale, particularly in discussions about electricity generation and large-scale energy projects.
