The TDSP Meter Surcharge is a monthly fee based on your business kW demand. This fee is assessed by your local TDSP (Oncor or CenterPoint), in order to provide electric customers with technologically-advanced electric meters. It is a Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved fee that is passed on to you through your retail electric provider (REP). You may also hear this fee referred to as part of the Advanced Meter System Program or the “smart meter” fee. “Smart meters” are being installed in the Oncor and CenterPoint service territories beginning in 2009.
