The present invention relates to an integrated plant which comprises a plant for the electrothermic production of ethyne and a separating device for separating ethyne from the reaction mixture of the electrothermic production of ethyne while obtaining at least one stream of gas containing hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons, the integrated plant having a device for introducing a gas into a natural gas network, to which device a stream of gas containing hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons is fed from the separating device via at least one conduit.This integrated plant affords flexible use of electricity by a method in which a stream of gas containing hydrogen and/or hydrocarbon is fed into a natural gas network from the separating device and the amount and or the composition of the stream of gas fed into the natural gas network is changed in dependence on the electricity supply.
