    Gigá Whatts, inventor of the plant. To this day we honour his invention by using GW to refer to a plant the size of his first plant. It’s roughly equivalent to an oak with stem circumference of 20m.

      Thanks, that makes sense. I’m not used to see abbreviation of units without a number next to it.

      What I’m seeing is that renewables farms are being built AND fossil fuel plants. Nothing is being substituted only added more of the same.
