AI assessment

Generated from ratio data, NECP and policy pipeline

Ireland's real electricity-to-gas ratio for mid-sized plants is 3.36 and 4.04 for large plants (Eurostat, 2026-S1, excl. VAT), 1.36 above the breakeven of 2. Gas costs about 68 €/MWh and electricity about 228 €/MWh. Over the last six semesters the mid-sized ratio moved between 3.11 and 3.38. 15 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.
