TDU/TDSP Delivery Charges are charges assessed by a Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) for the delivery of electricity to a customer over poles and wires and through other TDU facilities. Though these charges are assessed to the Retail Electric Provider (REP) and not the consumer directly, REPs may itemize these charges on consumers' electric bills.
