The Hidden Fees You Never Agreed To (and How to Fight Back)

Let me ask you a simple question:

When was the last time you actually read your electricity bill?
Not just the amount due—but line by line?

If you’re like most Texans, you glance at the total, grumble, and pay it. But buried inside that bill are fees and charges you never knowingly agreed to—and they’re costing you real money.

At Amerigy Energy, we review hundreds of bills every month, and I’m telling you—the fine print is full of gotchas. Here’s what you need to know.

 The Top 5 Hidden Fees Lurking in Your Bill

1. TDU Delivery Charges
These are the fees for maintaining the poles and wires—but did you know they vary by area and time of year? Some providers bury them deeper than others.

2. Base Fees
Some providers charge a base fee no matter how much—or how little—you use. It’s a “just because” charge that adds up over time.

3. Minimum Usage Fees
Used less energy to save money? Ironically, you might get punished for that with a fee. That’s right—you can pay more for using less.

4. Late Posting Fees
Even if you paid on time, some providers post late (especially around holidays) and add on a fee. Convenient for them. Not so much for you.

5. Renewable Energy Rider
This one’s sneaky: you may be paying for “green energy” without ever signing up for it. And it’s not even always real green energy.

 The Truth Is: They Count on You Not Looking

The retail electricity game in Texas isn’t about transparency—it’s about confusion. And the more confused you are, the more they profit.

We’ve even seen residential customers overpaying by hundreds a year, and businesses wasting thousands simply because no one ever showed them how to decode their bill.
