German term or phrase: Anlegbarkeitsprinzip
Das vorgestellte Vorgehen zur Identifikation des kostengünstigsten Wettbewerbsenergieträgers wird in der Gaswirtschaft gemeinhin als Anlegbarkeitsprinzip beschrieben und entspricht aus unserer Sicht dem marktüblichen Standard.

I understand the concept and have tried unsuccessfully to find an English equivalent in my online research of the natural gas industry. Perhaps there is an expert lurking in the proz virtual hallways???

TIA

principle of competition-oriented pricing
Explanation:
RWE:
Prinzip des wettbewerbsorientierten Preises (Anlegbarkeitsprinzip):
Gaspreis orientiert sich unter Berücksichtigung der Anwendungsvorteile
von Erdgas (rechenbar und nicht rechenbar) am Preisniveau der
Energieträger, zu denen es im konkreten Einzelfall in Konkurrenz steht

ezinearticles.com:
Competition-oriented pricing. You set your price based on what the competitors are charging. This is suitable if you and the competitors are selling the same or similar products

Hi JR, I did some more digging on the RWE websites in their 2004 World Energy Reports in German and English. There, they use "the principal of indexation" (page 38) for the German "Anlegbarkeitsprinzip" (page 34). While I still stand by the answer I entered, in light of the fact that you are still looking, I am offering this to you as an alternative. As to your question about KudoZ, I believe that you can give the points to the answer you found most helpful.

Explanation:
I am not an expert - my suggestion arises from the word "anlegbar" = applicable, -"keit" = application, and "Prinzip" = concept/principle

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think this gets very close. I can't help thinking there is an English phrase out there that gets it exactly. I think I'll use competition-oriented as an adjective and leave the other in German as requested by the client.

Asker: Can I still give you kudoz???
