The credit is determined by metering excess power in kilowatt-hours and multiplying it by the power rate or "fuel cost factor" (external link). This factor varies monthly dependent on customer class and Xcel Energy’s system-wide fuel costs. The "Net Billing" effect is realized when credit for excess private generation is subtracted from the total Xcel Energy bill. Option 2 carries a $20 monthly service fee, requiring a minimum amount of excess electricity to be produced to cover the fee. (Example: you produce an excess 400 kilowatt-hours in a monthly billing cycle, which is paid at the current fuel cost factor of 1.2 cents, equaling a bill credit of $4.80.).
