What does exajoule per second (EJ/s) measure?

Exajoule per second measures power by representing energy flow of 10^18 joules every second. It is used for very large-scale energy rates.

What is a gigawatt (GW)?

A gigawatt is a power unit equal to one billion watts, commonly used to express large amounts of electrical generation capacity.

Why convert from EJ/s to GW?

Converting EJ/s to GW translates extremely large energy flow rates into more familiar power units for comparison in energy and engineering contexts.
