Gigawatt-hour to megajoule Conversion
1 gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) is equal to 3600000 megajoule (MJ).
1 GW⋅hr = 3600000 MJ
or
1 MJ = 0.0000002777777778 GW⋅hr
Formula
To convert a energy from gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) to megajoule (MJ), multiply the energy in gigawatt-hour by 3600000
e(MJ) = e(GW⋅hr) × 3600000
Examples:
Convert 1000 gigawatt-hour to megajoule:
e(MJ) = 1000GW⋅hr × 3600000 = 3600000000 MJ

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert gigawatt-hour to megajoule?
Multiply the value in gigawatt-hour by 3600000 to get the result in megajoule. For example, 5 GW⋅hr × 3600000 = 18000000 MJ.
How many megajoule are in 1 gigawatt-hour?
1 gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr) is equal to 3600000 megajoule (MJ).
How do I convert megajoule back to gigawatt-hour?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in megajoule by 3600000 to get the result in gigawatt-hour.
How accurate is the gigawatt-hour to megajoule conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 3600000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
