How to Convert Watts (W) to Gigawatts (GW)

To convert watts to gigawatts, divide the number of watts by 1,000,000,000.

The power P in gigawatts (GW) is equal to the power P in watts (W) divided by 1,000,000,000:

P(GW) = P(W) / 1,000,000,000

If you have a power measurement of 5,000,000,000 W, the calculation would be:

P(GW) = 5,000,000,000 W / 1,000,000,000 = 5 GW

Watts (W) represent the rate of energy transfer or conversion. It indicates how much energy is used per unit of time.

Gigawatts (GW) are a larger unit of power, where 1 GW equals 1,000,000,000 W.

Always remember that 1 GW equals 1,000,000,000 W when making conversions!
