What you should know about the Delivery Charges on your energy bill
What are Delivery Charges?
Delivery charges—also known as Distribution and Transmission (D&T) charges—reflect the cost of installing, operating, and maintaining the infrastructure that delivers electricity and natural gas to your business. This includes the wires that bring electricity and the pipelines that deliver natural gas to your location.
These charges are regulated and appear as a separate section on your utility bill, typically labeled as Delivery Charges or Distribution and Transmission Charges
Why Delivery Charges matter?
Every customer pays delivery charges for the supply of electricity and natural gas to its facilities.
Although delivery charges are regulated, they have been steadily increasing in recent years, particularly for electricity, and now make up a significant portion of your energy bill, sometimes totaling over 60% of the final billing amount. Delivery charges are expected to continue to rise well into the future.
How 8760 helps?
Although delivery charges are approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission, they are not always optimized. 8760 conducts a detailed review of your delivery charge components to identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
This review can be completed whether you are currently under contract or not. When opportunities are identified, we manage the process directly with your energy service provider and clearly quantify the savings achieved.
Take back control of your electricity & natural gas delivery charges!
While most businesses focus on electricity and natural gas rates, some of the largest savings opportunities often exist within the regulated delivery charge portion of the bill.
8760 will conduct a deep dive into your delivery charge data to determine if any savings opportunities exist. We review rate classifications, demand levels. rate riders and other elements to ensure they are optimized correctly. If savings opportunities exist, we will quantify the potential savings in a detailed client report. Once the client approves the recommended approach, 8760 works with your service delivery provider to manage the process of getting required changes implemented.
