Gigawatt-hour to gigajoule converter (gwh to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 gwh = 3.60k gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

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

Example Conversion

Convert 5 gwh to gj:

5 gwh × 3.60k = 18.00k gj
