What are Therm and Gigawatt-hour

A Therm, often abbreviated as 'thm,' is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the heating, cooling, and natural gas industries. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) or approximately 105.5 megajoules. It is a convenient measure for large-scale energy use, such as residential gas consumption, and is widely recognized in energy markets and billing.

A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion (10^9) watt-hours. It's a standard measurement used by power plants and electric utilities to express large scale energy production and consumption. One GWh is equivalent to the amount of electricity needed to continuously power ten million 100-watt light bulbs for one hour. It is a significant unit for tracking electricity use on a grid scale.
