A trillion electron-volts (eV) or 1x 10 to the 12th power (1E+12) is equal to 4.4504903611e-14 kilowatt-hours. That is a minus sign in front of the 14 so this is much less than one KwHr by a long shot. A kilowatt hour is the energy used to run a 100w light bulb for 10 hours. So, learning Physics from a business point of view does not learn you a lot of Physics.

I cannot imagine that a trillion electron volts means anything at all without knowing the current. Since Power = Voltage X Current then a trillion volts with no current can do nothing at all.
