Gigajoule to megawatt-hour Conversion

1 gigajoule (GJ) is equal to 0.2777777778 megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr).

1 GJ = 0.2777777778 MW⋅hr

1 MW⋅hr = 3.6 GJ

Formula

To convert a energy from gigajoule (GJ) to megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr), divide the energy in gigajoule by 3.6

e_(MW⋅hr) = e_(GJ) / 3.6

Examples:

Convert 1000 gigajoule to megawatt-hour:

e_(MW⋅hr) = 1000GJ / 3.6 = 277.7777778 MW⋅hr
