Gigawatt to Watt (GW to W)
Convert GW to W — Power converter
One gigawatt equals 1000000000 W, so to convert gigawatts to watts you multiply the value by 1000000000. A gigawatt is larger than a watt — going the other way, 1 W = 1.000000e-9 GW. For example, 10 GW = 10000000000 W and 50 GW = 50000000000 W.
