In my province electricity is $0.024 / kWh overnight (that's about $0.17 USD) so almost free and comes from almost entirely renewable sources.

So, I would be happy to run it every night (excepting July & August), but the BOINC Manager just didn't seem to work for me: created an account but then the account was not recognized.

If 8/10ths of your grid's energy is renewable with renewables maxxed out and the remainder coming from non-renewables, your energy use was 100% non-renewable because that non-renewable capacity would not have been necessary.
