U.S. utilities' transmission & distribution cost | Statista

Major investor-owned electric utilities in the United States spent almost 15.9 billion U.S. dollars on transmission operations in 2022. Meanwhile, spending on distribution services stood at some six billion dollars. Transmission and distribution operating costs have seen a continual increase in the past decade, at least partially a result of an ageing infrastructure.
