So the concepts of constant prices and nominal prices apply to everything that has as unit currency
or a composed unit with a currency
as part of the unit (e.g. for the latter: €/MW, $/GJ).
And the concepts of real growth rate and nominal growth rate apply to concepts that are ratios like inflation rate
and GDP growth?
Do you agree to this this?
Yes.

So basically, it is a quality of a quantity.
Description of the issue
While we discussed at Öko about parameters typically used for projecting scenarios we came across two metrics that are related to expressing monetary values (typically GDP, energy prices) and that may be worthwhile having in the oeo.
1) constant price 2) real growth rate
-> "corrects" for inflation
Since monetary values can also be measured according to nominal values, potentially we may also discuss whether we may need
3) nominal price 4) nominal growth rate
-> does not "correct" for inflation
