Assuming that electrical energy costs 0.15 € per kWh and natural gas, 0.65 € per m3 (energy content 33 MJ per m3) for the private sector and 0.27 € per m3 for industry, the costs to generate one MJ of steam on an industrial scale is 0.011 €, for a private boiler 0.046 € and for one MJ of microwave heat with the average efficiency the costs are 0.088 €, including the indicated efficiencies.
