UTILITY · XCEL ENERGY

Public Service Company of Colorado (Xcel Energy)

Xcel Energy credits residential solar exports at the full retail rate near 15 cents per kWh under standard net metering, with monthly netting and an annual true-up. The separate Solar*Rewards program pays an additional production incentive of approximately 2 cents per kWh on all energy generated by the system under a 20-year contract, on top of net metering credits. The Solar*Rewards incentive rate has declined from earlier program years and is subject to Colorado Public Utilities Commission approval as part of Xcel's Renewable Energy Standard compliance plan. Current incentive amount and program availability should be confirmed against the active Xcel tariff before quoting.
