Gigawatt to Megawatt Converter

Convert gigawatts to megawatts instantly. Free, bidirectional, and fully in-browser.

1 gigawatt equals 1000 megawatts — enter any gigawatt value to convert it to megawatts instantly. This Gigawatt to Megawatt converter is a client-side tool: it applies a single multiplication (MW = GW × 1000) in your browser, updates the moment you type, and works in both directions — edit either field, or press swap, to convert megawatts back to gigawatts. A reference table lists common gigawatt values already converted, and nothing you enter is sent to a server.

• Adjustable precision

  A slider sets 0–10 decimal places, and very small or very large results switch to scientific notation instead of rounding to zero.
