How to Convert Watts to Gigawatts
1 W = 10-9 GW = 1/1000000000 GW
1 GW = 109 W = 1000000000 W
Watts to Gigawatts Conversion Formula
The power in gigawatts P(GW) can be calculated by dividing the power in watts P(W) by 109:
P(GW) = P(W) / 109
Example
Let’s say we have a power plant that generates electricity with a capacity of 500,000,000 watts (500 million watts). To convert this to gigawatts, we divide the value by 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) since there are 1 billion watts in a gigawatt.
500,000,000 watts ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 0.5 gigawatts
Therefore, the power plant has a capacity of 0.5 gigawatts.
