Megawatt-hour to gigajoule Conversion

1 megawatt-hour (MW⋅hr) is equal to 3.6 gigajoule (GJ).

1 MW⋅hr = 3.6 GJ

or

1 GJ = 0.2777777778 MW⋅hr

Formula

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

e(GJ) = e(MW⋅hr) × 3.6

Examples:

Convert 1000 megawatt-hour to gigajoule:

e(GJ) = 1000MW⋅hr × 3.6 = 3600 GJ
