Constant hydrogen value: 80.0 €/MWhLHV; Value of lost load: 1000.0 €/MWh. All costs and prices are in 2020 euros. Fuel energy refers to the lower heating value (LHV).

Aggregated yearly statistics

All costs and prices are in 2020 euros. Fuel energy refers to the lower heating value (LHV). Annuities are calculated with 2030 cost assumptions and a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 7%.
