What is the TDU/TDSP charge on my bill?

Electricity distribution requires maintenance and upkeep, which is why on your electricity bills, you’ll typically see a TDSP charge, or a distribution fee. It can also be called a TDU charge, which stands for Transmission and Distribution Utility. That charge is analogous to a shipping charge on an online purchase, or the delivery fee on a food delivery app. TDSP charges cover the cost of distributing your electricity to you over the month, as well as the cost of maintaining electricity lines and meters. These charges do not come from your electricity provider.

What’s the difference between an electricity provider and electricity utility?

Electricity utilities work with electricity providers to get the electricity from your plan into your home, by maintaining meters and power lines. They also handle power outages, which means if you’re on a plan in a zipcode serviced by Centerpoint and you lose power, you should call Centerpoint to get your lights back on, as opposed to your electricity provider.
