Retailer Commodity Charges: 35% of Your Utility Bill

Distribution & Transmission Charges: 65% of Your Utility Bill
Every customer pays distribution and transmission (D&T) costs for the supply of
electricity and natural gas to their facilities.
Although D&T costs are regulated, they have been steadily increasing in recent years, particularly for electricity, and now make up a significant portion of your energy bill.
D&T costs are expected to continue to rise well into the future. It is important for businesses to understand the D&T billing components as there are potential savings opportunities that lie within this expense line. Potential areas of review include:
- Rate classifications
- Billed/contracted demand levels
- Rate riders
- Metering irregularities
- Peak demand levels
