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.
Horsepower (Mechanic)
Mechanical horsepower (hp) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done. One mechanical horsepower is equivalent to approximately 745.7 watts. It is often used to rate the power output of engines and motors.
