I never heard anyone use the term gigavolt. I read somewhere that oak ridge produced a record 25 megavolts but that was a while ago. You might be thinking of electron volts. The LHC is up to 13 TeV.

Strictly speaking that is a mistake, they really mean giga-electron-volts of energy. But when dealing with electrons its pretty easy to abbreviate it to volts. Really volts measures the electric potential, not the potential energy.fA second beam – the “witness” electron beam – would then be accelerated by the wakefields, gaining up to several gigavolts of energy.
