Gigawatt-hour to British thermal units Conversion
1 gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) is equal to 3412141633 British thermal units (BTU).
1 GW⋅hr = 3412141633 BTU
or
1 BTU = 0.0000000002930710702 GW⋅hr
Formula
To convert a energy from gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) to British thermal units (BTU), multiply the energy in gigawatt-hour by 3412141633
e(BTU) = e(GW⋅hr) × 3412141633
Examples:
Convert 100 gigawatt-hour to British thermal units:
e(BTU) = 100GW⋅hr × 3412141633 = 341214163300 BTU
