AI assessment

Generated from ratio data, NECP and policy pipeline

France's real electricity-to-gas ratio for mid-sized plants is 2.04 and 2.08 for large plants (Eurostat, 2026-S1, excl. VAT), 0.04 above the breakeven of 2. Gas costs about 61 €/MWh and electricity about 124 €/MWh. Over the last six semesters the mid-sized ratio moved between 1.86 and 2.61. 49 matched sites, mostly paper; 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.
