That's watts multiplied by time, aka energy.

So if you can have a kilowatt per hour, then why can't you have a gigawatt per year?

Because it's not kilowatt per hour (kW/h), it's kilowatt hours (kWh). It would be fine to say GW years, but then the question would be over how long? Most likely one year, which gives us GWy/y = GW.
