Gigajoule to gigawatt-hour converter (gj to gwh)

Conversion Formula

1 gj = 2.78e-4 gwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
   1 Gigawatt-hour = 3.60T joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 gj = (1.00G J) / (3.60T J/gwh) = 2.78e-4 gwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in gj by 2.78e-4 to get the equivalent in gwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gj to gwh:

5 gj × 2.78e-4 = 0.001389 gwh
