The correct unit is GigaWatts. It looks like the top just says ##.#k rather than ##.#k GW, with the K just standing in for 3 zeroes.

To reduce confusion the GW notation should be removed and units should show the energy amount in ##.#k only. Alternatively the top panel should show GW after the k.

1000 Watts is 1 kilowatt, 1000 gigawatts is not 1 kilo giga watt, but 1 terawatt. It is confusing to use the prefix k, which traditionally refers to kilowatts, to refer to thousand gigawatts.

This is definitely confusing.

Agree, I found this confusing

In general, we just use the abbreviations for the numbers, consistently in the interface. k for thousands of whatever the unit is, m for millions of the units in question. I think the consistency is important for most players.
