1 Its output is about a gigawatt a year.

2 The group said China closed down 54.07 gigawatt of the least efficient coal-fired plants over the last three and a half years — more than the total electricity installed capacity of Australia.

3 Wind costs more than $2.5 billion per gigawatt to build, compared with $600 million for gas.

4 One nuclear power plant yields a gigawatt of power, meaning 8000 nuclear power plants would be needed to produce 8 terawatts.

5 With the overall PV market growing in the gigawatt range, CPV has an opportunity to enter the market with production of tens or hundreds of megawatts per year.

6 The present power consumption of Earth is 8, 500 gigawatts, equivalent to fusing 450 tons of helium-3 per year.

7 If they prove efficient in ongoing trials, Li believes, it will open the door to the government rolling out clean energy "on a gigawatt scale in a short amount of time."

8 Like most investment stories involving China, it pays to read the fine print on First Solar's (FSLR) announcement that it has signed a deal to build a huge 2 gigawatt solar plant in China.

9 Well, here's another reason not to like it: The malls of America consume more than a gigawatt of electricity per month playing the anodyne sales-spurring pop.

10 This is the first wind farm in the 10 gigawatt mega-project.

11 There is no reason why multiple units could not be connected together to store much more power,[] Howe says several gigawatt hours.

12 An Italian company, Kitegen, has come up with a theoretical design for a system that could generate a gigawatt, as much power as a standard coal-fired power station.

13 The government has launched a "Three Gorges on Land" wind project in Gansu Province that will equal the generating capacity of the 22 gigawatt 3-Gorges Dam.
