Bisher waren 40 Gigawatt geplant, nun sollen es fast doppelt so viel werden. 之前计划为40百万千瓦，现在却要几乎两倍那么多。
In 2006 and 2007 newly installed wind power capacity totaled 3.05 gigawatt, growing by 148% on average annually. 2006和2007年风电新增装机305万千瓦，年均增长148%25；
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。
IN THE FIVE YEARS after the invention of the laser in 1960, tabletop lasers advanced in a series of technological leaps to reach a power of one gigawatt (109 W). 1960年雷射发明后的五年间，桌上型雷射的发展经由一系列的科技跃迁，已进展到10亿瓦功率的地步。
That is closing in on the cost of a coal-fired power station: a gigawatt (one billion watt) plant costs about $1 billion to build. 这方面的投资正在接近燃煤发电站的成本：建一个十亿瓦特的燃煤发电站花费大约为十亿美元。
It could potentially generate 1.14 gigawatt hours of electricity every year, enough to power up to 80% of the sorrounding neighbourhood. 预估可生产1.;14千兆瓦/小时的电力，可以给周围80%25附近居民区提供电力。
