AI assessment

Generated from ratio data, NECP and policy pipeline

Germany's real electricity-to-gas ratio for mid-sized plants is 2.55 and 2.69 for large plants (Eurostat, 2026-S1, excl. VAT), 0.55 above the breakeven of 2. Gas costs about 68 €/MWh and electricity about 174 €/MWh. Over the last six semesters the mid-sized ratio moved between 2.55 and 2.97. 9 matched sites, mostly chemicals; 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.
