Annual energy at a supplier cost crossover calculator

Annual energy at equal total supplier cost is calculated as (F_new−F_old)/(r_old−r_new). Use the stated system boundary and matching input units.

Ecross=Fnew−Foldrold−rnewE_{\text{cross}} = \frac{F_{\text{new}} - F_{\text{old}}}{r_{\text{old}} - r_{\text{new}}}

Worked example

Given

  • FnewF_{\text{new}} = 2,400 $/year
  • FoldF_{\text{old}} = 600 $/year
  • roldr_{\text{old}} = 0.12 $/kWh
  • rnewr_{\text{new}} = 0.1 $/kWh
Ecross=2400−6000.12−0.1=90,000E_{\text{cross}} = \frac{2400 - 600}{0.12 - 0.1} = 90{,}000
