Gigawatt-hour to British thermal unit converter (gwh to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 gwh = 3.41G btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Gigawatt-hour = 3.60T joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 gwh = (3.60T J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 3.41G btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in gwh by 3.41G to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gwh to btu:

5 gwh × 3.41G = 17.06G btu
