• Megawatthour (3,600,000,000 J)

  The megawatt hour (symbol MWh) is a unit of energy equal to 3,600 megajoules. If energy is transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in megawatt hours is equal to the power in megawatt multiplied by the time in hours.

• Gigajoule (1,000,000,000 J)

  The joule (/dʒuːl/; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
