1 billion watts = 1 gigawatt
Gigawatts measure the capacity of large power plants or of many plants. One gigawatt (GW) = 1,000 megawatts = 1 billion watts.
How many houses can 1 gigawatt power?
One megawatt can meet the instantaneous demand of at least 750 homes, so in these instances, solar was powering more than 750,000 California homes. (1 GIGAWATT)
Andrew Forrest’s iron ore mining giant Fortescue Metals has unveiled stunning plans to build more than 235 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity, mostly wind and solar
Victoria will be home to the largest battery in the southern hemisphere as part of a State Government push to transition to renewable energy.
Renewable energy company Neoen will pay for the 300 megawatt Tesla battery to be installed at Moorabool, near Geelong. (equivalent of powering 225,000 homes)
The new battery will be twice the size of the battery at the Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia.
280MW Cultana solar farm will be the biggest in South Australia,
Fascinating!! Why aren’t more countries and states looking into renewable sources of energy?!
