Calculator

Use the calculator below to compare your electricity supply costs (the cost of the actual electricity) to Eversource’s Basic Service costs, and to quantify the greenhouse gas benefits of participating in the program. To ensure the renewable energy is as clean as possible, the additional renewable energy purchased by Lincoln does not include biomass sources.

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

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

* 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 seasonally, 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 seasonally, and future Basic Service prices are unknown.
