It's a billion Watts.The Watt being the SI unit of power, measuring energy transferred per second.
...so a power of 1.19625GW would mean that 1 196 250 000 Joules are being transferred every second.
If you want to know what Joules are like, look on the back of a crisp packet - they measure the same thing as Calories (like Celsius and Farenheight). 1 KJ (KiloJoule) is a thousand Joules.

and 1 watt is one joule of energy per second. 1W = 1J/s = 1 newton meter per second = 1 kg·m2·s−3
