Watts to Gigawatts Converter
1 watt (W) equals 1 × 10-9 gigawatts (GW).
Quick answer
- 1 watt = 1 × 10-9 gigawatts
- 1 gigawatt = 1,000,000,000 watts
- Formula: GW = W × 1 × 10-9
1 watt = 1 × 10-9 gigawatts
How to convert watts to gigawatts
GW = W × 1 × 10-9
To convert watts to gigawatts, multiply the number of watts by 1 × 10-9.
Example: 10 W to GW
- Start with the value in watts: 10 W.
- Multiply by 1 × 10-9: 10 × 1 × 10-9 = 1 × 10-8.
- Result: 10 watts = 1 × 10-8 gigawatts.
Going the other way, 1 gigawatt = 1,000,000,000 watts, so to convert gigawatts back to watts you divide by the same number. See gigawatts to watts.
