Gigawatt-hour to joules Conversion

1 gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) is equal to 3600000000000 joules (joule).

1 GW⋅hr = 3600000000000 joule

1 joule = 0.0000000000002777777778 GW⋅hr

Formula

To convert a energy from gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) to joules (joule), multiply the energy in gigawatt-hour by 3600000000000

e_(joule) = e_(GW⋅hr) × 3600000000000

Examples:

Convert 1000 gigawatt-hour to joules:

e_(joule) = 1000GW⋅hr × 3600000000000 = 3600000000000000 joule
