Net Excess Generation Notes

If you delivered more energy to PSO than you used during the month (measured in kilowatt-hours, or kWh), PSO will show the excess kWh on that month’s bill. After the calendar month is complete and SPP publishes their LMP prices, PSO will calculate the average price for that month (when your energy was produced), and you will receive the credit amount on your next month’s bill.


Avoided cost changes monthly or as needed.
