Gigawatt to Megawatt
1 GW = 1,000 MW
One gigawatt equals 1,000 megawatts, and one megawatt equals 0.001 gigawatts.
Gigawatt to Megawatt formula
MW = GW × 1000
To convert gigawatts to megawatts, multiply the value by 1000. One gigawatt equals 1,000 megawatts.
Step-by-step examples
Convert 1 gigawatts to megawatts
- 1Start with the value in gigawatts: 1 GW.
- 2Multiply by the conversion factor 1000.
- 31 × 1000 = 1,000 MW.
Result: 1 GW = 1,000 MW
Convert 10 gigawatts to megawatts
- 1Start with the value in gigawatts: 10 GW.
- 2Multiply by the conversion factor 1000.
- 310 × 1000 = 10,000 MW.
Result: 10 GW = 10,000 MW
Convert 100 gigawatts to megawatts
- 1Start with the value in gigawatts: 100 GW.
- 2Multiply by the conversion factor 1000.
- 3100 × 1000 = 100,000 MW.
Result: 100 GW = 100,000 MW
