This converter allows you to convert megawatts [MW] to gigawatts [GW] or gigawatts [GW] to megawatts [MW]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 megawatt [MW] = 0.001 gigawatts [GW]1 gigawatt [GW] = 1,000 megawatts [MW]

Convert megawatts to gigawatts

There are two simple ways to convert megawatts [MW] to gigawatts [GW]. In the first calculation method, the value in megawatts [MW] is divided by 1,000. The second method multiplies the value in megawatts [MW] by 0.001.

  • Gigawatts [GW] = megawatts [MW] ÷ 1,000
  • Gigawatts [GW] = megawatts [MW] * 0.001

Convert gigawatts to megawatts

Converting gigawatts [GW] to megawatts [MW] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, whereby the value in gigawatts [GW] is multiplied by 1,000. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in gigawatts [GW] is divided by 0.001.

  • Megawatts [MW] = gigawatts [GW] * 1,000
  • Megawatts [MW] = gigawatts [GW] ÷ 0.001

Resistance

Electrical resistance is often expressed in ohms or kiloohms. However, it is also possible to use statohms or deciohms. The resistance converter is ideal for converting between different units of resistance.

Speed

While mph is used in the USA, km/h is the standard in Europe, and seafaring and aviation rely on knots. This speed converter is the perfect tool for accurately converting between various units of speed.
