The formula from the Netherlands study for ΔR is valid at the point that the fossil fuel savings become zero (ΔF=0). A correction to the text has been made.

Thanks for clarifying the way that Le Pair/De Groot calculated gross efficiency losses/heat rate penalties across the range of Dutch thermal generators. Rather ingenuous methodology. Given the nature of the problem, it seems reasonable that, when all of the Dutch thermal plants are properly accounted for, the Dutch results will become more refined, in the process becoming more congruent with your calculations.
