Discover the ease of converting energy from Gigawatt-hours to Horsepower hours with our intuitive online converter tool, designed to simplify your calculations.
A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion (10^9) watt-hours. It is commonly used to track large-scale energy production and consumption, such as the output of power plants or the energy usage of cities over time. One GWh is equivalent to the amount of energy expended by one gigawatt of power being used continuously for an hour.
Definition of Horsepower-hourA Horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy that combines the power unit horsepower (hp) with the time unit hour (h). It quantifies the total work performed or energy expended when one horsepower is exerted over the span of an hour. This measure is particularly used in the automotive and machinery industries to represent the energy output of engines or motors.

1 hp*h = 7.4569987e-10 GWh
Example 1:
convert 2 GWh to hp*h:
2 GWh = 2 × 1341022080 hp*h = 2682044160 hp*h
Example 2:
convert 0.1 GWh to hp*h:
0.1 GWh = 0.1 × 1341022080 hp*h = 134102208 hp*h
A brief history of the Gigawatt-hour to Horsepower metric Hour Converter traces back to the need for converting large-scale energy measurements into units that are more familiar in mechanical industries, specifically those relevant to engine output.
