Energy Charge

Is a charge based on the electric energy kWh consumed? TDU delivery charge is to cover the cost of moving electricity from the generation plan to your home, the TDU delivery charge is also used to keep the electric post, meter, and cables, in good condition.

We also have the Meter charge, Transition charge, etc. City sales tax varies by each city. To learn more about your electricity monthly charges you can visit the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC)

Energy Charge

The Energy Charge is what the Retail Electricity Provider (REP) or energy company is charging us for the kilowatts we consume. It’s the actual electricity we use when we turn on our lights or use an appliance.

The REPs are responsible to send us the electricity bills. Which include the delivery charges (TDU or delivery) charges, the energy charges (kilowatts consumed), plus the taxes.

So, we pay the energy company and they will send the appropriate portion of delivery charges to the utility.
