A while back, I tried calculating the "cap price" on natural gas (similar to the calculations I've done for the "cap price" on oil), based on the price at which it's cheaper to substitute something else. You get one cap price for electricity generation (based largely on wind/solar/battery prices), and a different one for heating (based largely on electricity prices and the efficiency of heat pumps).
I honestly don't remember what the numbers came out to for electricity, but for heating, *in the cold Northeast*, the cap price was between $4.00 and $5.50 depending on assumptions. (And, of course, it's dropping.) I'm not sure how much this helps, but maybe it will be useful.
