Our analysis of VBW study [1]:
- Our main critique is that the gas gap is calculated as too big, as in Table 5, depicted in the image.
- There is an underestimation of imports, which suddenly decrease in April/May
- The conversion of electricity is ignored
- No energy savings are assumed, whereas energy savings already happen
