Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors and Electronic specialty gases

Their prices have moved together.

Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors (energy) and Electronic specialty gases (chemical): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Price link: insulating gas

Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

Medium and high-voltage switchgear often uses sulphur hexafluoride, a fluorinated gas, for insulation. Rules phasing it out because of its warming effect push buyers to alternatives. The fluorinated gases proxy shows only a weak yearly link, at 0.32.
