You have two options to calculate renewable energy cost. Use the virtual rate calculated by the energy model for EAc1 or the local utility rate structure. There is an option on the LEED Online form to select one or the other. Sounds like you are better off using the local rate structure. The same cost value should be used in both EAc1 and EAc2.
