Energy use drops but energy bill same

Working on a simple study model, with BSLN and PROP cases.

  1. DistrictCooling:Facility is lower in PROP.
  2. Zone Air System Sensible Cooling Energy is lower in PROP.
  3. Yet, Electricity:Facility is still the same in both cases. Why?

I am unable to find why lowered cooling does not affect energy cost. I am not a seasoned EnergyPlus user. Any help is deeply appreciated.
