I did some lengthy analysis behind the chemistry / economics and wrote it up here.

TL;DR: ignoring all sources of overhead/inefficiency and purely on consideration of thermodynamic costs, $70 of electricity can generate $100 of lime, $300 of chlorine gas, and $75 of hydrogen gas.

Much more details on the chemistry and economics in the blog post...
