AI assessment

Generated from ratio data, NECP and policy pipeline

The Netherlands has a real ratio of 2.17 for mid-sized plants and 2.09 for large plants (Eurostat, 2026 S1, excl. VAT), helped by high gas prices (≈84 €/MWh). The catch is volatility: mid-sized ratios swung between 2.17 and 3.58 over the last six semesters, so contracts need price-shock protection. Large plants are steadier (2.08–2.85). Matched chemicals and food sites are the main candidates; heat estimates come from 2025 ETS emissions and are not verified site data.
