Understanding TDU Delivery Charges in Corpus Christi

Here’s how Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) delivery charges work, where they show up on your bill, and what to review before you enroll.

What Is a TDU?

A Transmission and Distribution Utility maintains poles, wires, and meters. In deregulated markets, TDUs deliver the power regardless of which Retail Electric Provider (REP) you choose.

TDU Charges vs. Energy Charges

• Energy charges come from the plan you select with a REP.
• TDU delivery charges are set by your local utility and appear on your bill as separate line items.

How TDU Charges Show on a Bill

Typical line items include a per-kWh delivery charge and, in some areas, a fixed monthly charge. Review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) and Terms of Service for details.

Where to Find the Current TDU Schedule

Plan pages and EFL documents reference the current delivery charges. Always check the most recent plan documents at enrollment.

Comparing Plans With TDU in Mind

• Open the EFL for each plan you’re considering.
• Compare energy charges, delivery charges, fees, and term length.
• Use usage examples as a guide, understanding your actual use may differ.
