Calculator

Use the calculator below to compare your electricity supply costs (the costs of the actual electricity) to Eversource’s Basic Service costs, and to quantify the greenhouse gas benefits of participating in the program.

Your electricity delivery costs (the cost to bring electricity to your home or business) will not be changed by your participation in Lincoln Green Energy Choice.

To use the calculator, find your monthly electricity use (in kWh) on your utility electricity bill and enter it into the box below.

Please note: The Eversource prices shown are the average of July – December 2022 prices and January – June 2023 prices.

Lincoln Green Energy Choice Costs and Benefits
	Lincoln Standard Green (default) 32% additional renewable electricity from New England (MA Class I RECs), over and above the minimum amount required by state law	Lincoln 100% Green (option) 100% renewable electricity from New England (MA Class I RECs)	Lincoln Basic (option) 2% additional renewable electricity from New England (MA Class I RECs), over and above the minimum amount required by state law
Program price ($/kWh)	$0.22316	$0.24018	$0.21206
Monthly electricity supply charges ($/month)
If you participate in the program for one year, this will be your approximate greenhouse gas reduction over the course of that year:
Greenhouse gas emissions avoided in one year compared to Eversource's Basic Service (lbs/year)
This is the same as driving this many fewer miles in one year*
Compare to Eversource's Basic Service price (the most recent 12-month average**)
	Residential	Small Business	Large Business
12-month average Eversource price ($/kWh)	$0.20927	$0.21038	$0.21080
Monthly electricity supply charges ($/month)

* This calculator calculates equivalencies using information provided by the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. Greenhouse gas emissions avoided are calculating using the most recently available NEPOOL GIS emissions factor.

** Please note that the utility Basic Service prices shown are the average of Eversource’s Basic Service prices for the past 12 months. Because fixed Basic Service prices change so frequently (every 6 months for residential and small business/commercial accounts and every 3 months for large business/industrial accounts), using an average price can provide a valuable comparison.

Savings cannot be guaranteed

While Lincoln Green Energy Choice offers the potential for savings when compared with Eversource’s Basic Service prices, there is no guarantee of savings. This is because Eversource’s Basic Service prices change every 6 months for residential and small business/commercial customers and every 3 months for large business/industrial customers and future Basic Service prices are unknown.
