How does the Average Monthly Plan (AMP) impact the delivery of your Solar Credits?
If you are enrolled in Xcel Energy’s Average Monthly Payment or Budget Billing program, your solar credits are not applied to your bill on a monthly basis. Instead, they are applied at the end of your 12-month cycle during the annual “true-up” process.
You also have the option to receive any excess credits as a payout once per year, in March or April.
See Xcel Energy's fact sheet here to learn more.
If the Average Monthly Plan is not essential for your budget, consider coming off the Plan.
It is preferable to have their bill credits applied each month. That way, you receive bill credits that reduce your Xcel Energy bill at the same time you're making Sunscription payments. If the Average Monthly Bill Plan is not essential to your budget, we recommend you call Xcel at 1-800-895-4999 and ask to be taken off the Average Monthly Bill Plan.
