ZIP-BASED PLANNING

Build your electricity cost picture

Start with an EIA benchmark, then replace each assumption with your own bill, vehicle and project quote.

YOUR RESULT

Enter a ZIP and usage pattern.

No live tariff or “cheapest plan” is invented before verified address-level coverage exists.

MANUAL RATE-SHAPE COMPARISON

Model the tariff you actually have.

Enter rates from your bill or utility disclosure. These are user-supplied scenarios—not live plans, supplier quotes or switching recommendations.

SCENARIO OUTPUT

Use your current bill and interval data.

A monthly kWh total alone cannot prove that time-of-use service will save money.

Data boundary

EIA publishes average revenue per kWh, not the tariff on your bill. Solar production needs an address-specific NREL PVWatts run; battery value depends on the actual rate design, operating strategy and resilience value. CoolCompare does not invent supplier offers.
