1.吉瓦
1.a unit of electrical power equal to 1,000 million watts.
1.With about a gigawatt of installed capacity, Britain already has more turbines around its coasts than any other country.
英国拥有比世界上任何一个国家都多的涡轮机围绕其海岸线，可以发电十亿瓦。
2.There is no reason why multiple units could not be connected together to store much more power, Howe says several gigawatt hours.
当提及数千兆瓦时，豪反问，为什么不能将多个机组串联起来，存贮更多的能量。
3.Its output is about a gigawatt a year.
其产出是年十亿瓦。
4.It has a pipeline of more than 2 gigawatts of projects planned in the United States, Canada and Europe.
目前，RecurrentEnergy规划项目尚有2GW（Gigawatt，十亿瓦特），涉及美国、加拿大及欧洲地区。
5.One nuclear power plant yields a gigawatt of power, meaning 8000 nuclear power plants would be needed to produce 8 terawatts.
一座核电站能产生十亿瓦电量，这意味着，要产生8太瓦电量，需要8000座核电站。
6.The 2-gigawatt plant in the Mongolian desert will generate enough electricity to power three million homes.
这个建造在蒙古沙漠地区的20亿瓦特的电场产生的电力将足够供应300万户家庭。
7.For renewables a gigawatt of power is a massive amount; for nuclear power it is the basic unit.
十亿瓦对于可再生资源来说是一个大数目，可对于核动力而言，却是最基本的。
8.Whereas a coal-burning plant, a normal one gigawatt coal plant, burns 80 rail cars of coal a day.
而一个燃煤电厂，一个普通的，1千兆瓦的燃煤发电厂，每天燃烧80节煤炭轨道车。
9.A five-gigawatt SuperCable is certainly technically feasible.
可承载50亿瓦特的超级电缆在技术上当然是可行的。
10.Instead of an 8-gigawatt (8GW) shortfall, it now expects to suffer a shortage of only 3GW, as a story in this week's paper explains.
本周的一篇报道中说，现在预计只有30亿瓦的电力短缺，而不是80亿瓦。
