Megawatt-hour to gigawatt-hour converter (mwh to gwh)

Conversion Formula

1 mwh = 0.001000 gwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
   1 Gigawatt-hour = 3.60T joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mwh = (3.60G J) / (3.60T J/gwh) = 0.001000 gwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mwh by 0.001000 to get the equivalent in gwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mwh to gwh:

5 mwh × 0.001000 = 0.005000 gwh
