Megawatt-hour to gigajoule converter (mwh to gj)

Conversion Formula

1 mwh = 3.600 gj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
   1 Gigajoule = 1.00G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mwh = (3.60G J) / (1.00G J/gj) = 3.600 gj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mwh by 3.600 to get the equivalent in gj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mwh to gj:

5 mwh × 3.600 = 18.000 gj
