AI assessment

Generated from ratio data, NECP and policy pipeline

Belgium's real electricity-to-gas ratio for mid-sized plants is 3.64 and 3.42 for large plants (Eurostat, 2026-S1, excl. VAT), 1.64 above the breakeven of 2. Gas costs about 44 €/MWh and electricity about 160 €/MWh. Over the last six semesters the mid-sized ratio moved between 3.13 and 3.87. 17 matched sites, mostly food; heat estimates come from 2025 ETS emissions and are not verified site data. No national policy items have been mapped yet, so scenarios use a generic reduction path.
