About These Units

Gigawatt (GW)

A gigawatt (GW) equals 1,000 megawatts or 1 billion watts. Gigawatts measure national electricity capacity, large power grids, and total generating capacity. US peak electricity demand is about 700 GW. Famous from "Back to the Future": 1.21 gigawatts.

Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)

Kilocalories per hour (kcal/h) measures metabolic rate and heat production, equal to 1.163 watts. Basal metabolic rate is about 60-80 kcal/h. Exercise increases metabolic rate to 300-900 kcal/h depending on intensity. Also called "large calories per hour."
