GAS DEMAND & COST PLANNER

Make your assumptions visible.

Convert a power generation scenario into annual fuel input and compare two gas price assumptions. All calculations run in your browser.

Your scenario

Defaults are illustrative inputs, not current market prices. Efficiency and gas prices must use the same heating-value basis (HHV or LHV).

ILLUSTRATIVE ANNUAL RESULTS

Transparent methodology

Electricity output (MWh) = capacity (MW) × operating hours. Fuel input (MWh thermal) = electricity output ÷ (efficiency ÷ 100). Fuel input (MMBtu) = thermal MWh × 3.412141633. Fuel cost = MMBtu × user-entered USD/MMBtu.

The fixed conversion follows 1 MWh = 3.6 GJ and the international-table Btu definition. This unit identity does not convert energy to physical gas volume. Actual gas composition and the selected heating-value basis matter.

Results exclude network fees, liquefaction, shipping, regasification, taxes, carbon costs, capital expenditure, operating costs and start-up losses. Annual average calculations do not assess peak delivery rates, storage sizing or operational flexibility. This is an initial screening tool, not an engineering model or supply quotation.
