Kilowatt-hours to gigawatt-hour Conversion
1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to 0.000001 gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr).
1 kWh = 0.000001 GW⋅hr
or
1 GW⋅hr = 1000000 kWh
Formula
To convert a energy from kilowatt-hours (kWh) to gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr), divide the energy in kilowatt-hours by 1000000
e(GW⋅hr) = e(kWh) / 1000000
Examples:
Convert 1 kilowatt-hours to gigawatt-hour:
e(GW⋅hr) = 1kWh / 1000000 = 0.000001 GW⋅hr

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert kilowatt-hours to gigawatt-hour?
Divide the value in kilowatt-hours by 1000000 to get the result in gigawatt-hour. For example, 5 kWh ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6 GW⋅hr.
How many gigawatt-hour are in 1 kilowatt-hours?
1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to 1e-6 gigawatt-hour (GW⋅hr).
How do I convert gigawatt-hour back to kilowatt-hours?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in gigawatt-hour by 1000000 to get the result in kilowatt-hours.
How accurate is the kilowatt-hours to gigawatt-hour conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
