AI assessment

Generated from ratio data, NECP and policy pipeline

Spain's real electricity-to-gas ratio for mid-sized plants is 2.39 (Eurostat, 2026 S1, excl. VAT) — just above the breakeven of 2. It is fairly stable, moving between 2.34 and 2.61 over the last six semesters, which makes savings predictable for pay-as-you-save lenders. Large plants (2.22) are closer to breakeven today. Of the matched sites, pulp and paper mills dominate; their below-200 °C heat is estimated from 2025 ETS emissions and still needs a site check of fuel mix and temperatures.
