Your right the TDSP charges are something that is not the responsibility of the retail electric providers. The charges are simply past through. But for the purposes of making sure Texans understand their advertised electric rate most energy providers will bundle in those TDSP charges into the retail electricity costs to give a total “all-in” bundled price. In fact, Texas now requires that residential electricity rates are advertised and bundled so that the consumer knows exactly what they are being charged, even the TDSP charges that are not the responsibility of the retail electric provider.

This is how electric rates have been regulated to be advertised by the PUCT in Texas. Consumers want to see the total “all-in” rate including TDSP charges and so the PUCT makes sure Texas electricity providers comply and bundle in all charges in their advertised rates even if some of those charges are simply past through from the utility or generation company.

Make no mistake, TDSP charges are out of the control of the retail electric providers hands as Jimmy has stated. It is a misconception to believe that they are charges coming from the retail electric provider. None the less an energy provider in Texas must bundle in all charges including TDSP charges when advertising a residential electric rate to Texans.

This is how the PUCT wants it to be done.

It is a misconception…the local utility company is the one who adds the transportation and delivery charge, not the supplier.

But on power to choose all providers bundle their electric rate which includes any TDSP charges. The state created a rule this year that providers must be more thorough in claryfying all charges in their advertised bundled rate. We are glad Liberty is making their electric rate clear to customers now.

All electric providers charge a seperate dilevery fee, and Liberty power is no different. All power bills contain more than one line. Liberty power is committed to providing people electricity at a lower rate than the local utility company. With all the customers we have, to see so few complaints is a testimony to our quality.

Ref Liberty Power,
Is one of the MOST deceptive lying heap of electric utility operation on the wire. They will outright withhold vital info for an inquirer seeking details on additional charges. Until recently, they will not disclose additional HIDDEN charges as delivery fees and will ‘play’ it down immensely and will not give you an EXAMPLE situation of a make believe sample bill. They have much to hide. AVOID them at ALL Cost.
After added ‘DELIVERY’ FEE one’s bill can be up by 3-4 more kilowatt hrs. to their advertised billing.
We hate deceptive ADs. It’s a Major turn off. Good businesses are upright, upfront and thriving.
Let Liberty Power die quietly.

I am currently a Reliant Energy customer and have been for several years. I am now paying $.18 for this service and that is why I am looking for a better rate.
Thanks!
