Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp(E)) is a unit of power used primarily to measure the output of electric motors. It is defined as exactly 746 watts. This unit is useful for comparing the power output of electric motors to other types of engines.
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.
