How to use this Gigawatts to Milliwatts Converter 🤔
Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Gigawatts to the units of Milliwatts.
Enter the input Gigawatts value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Gigawatts into Milliwatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Milliwatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Milliwatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Milliwatts value using the Copy button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
Formula
The formula to convert given power from Gigawatts to Milliwatts is:
Power(Milliwatts) = Power(Gigawatts) × 1e12
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that a large nuclear power plant generates 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of electricity. Convert this power generation from gigawatts to Milliwatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Gigawatts = 1.5 GW
Converting Power from Gigawatts to Milliwatts...
The formula to convert from Gigawatts to Milliwatts is:
Power(Milliwatts) = Power(Gigawatts) × 1e12
Substitute given Power(Gigawatts) = 1.5 in the above formula.
Power(Milliwatts) = 1.5 × 1e12
Power(Milliwatts) = 1500000000000
Therefore, 1.5 GW is equal to 1500000000000 mW.
2
Consider that a major city's electrical grid requires 2 gigawatts (GW) of power during peak hours. Convert this power demand from gigawatts to Milliwatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Gigawatts = 2 GW
Converting Power from Gigawatts to Milliwatts...
The formula to convert from Gigawatts to Milliwatts is:
Power(Milliwatts) = Power(Gigawatts) × 1e12
Substitute given Power(Gigawatts) = 2 in the above formula.
Power(Milliwatts) = 2 × 1e12
Power(Milliwatts) = 2000000000000
Therefore, 2 GW is equal to 2000000000000 mW.

Gigawatts
A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.
Milliwatts
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt. It is often used in contexts where power levels are low, such as in electronics and communications.
