  -> No, it's all about the cost of delivering the electricity to the user's premises; nothing so specific as the actual cables, much more general.

neutral  Tony M: A good possibility, but specifically in terms of EDF over here, they often talk about 'distribution et acheminement', suggesting that they are in some way distinguishing between them.

coûts d’acheminement
(electricity) transmission and distribution costs


Explanation:


" Electric-power transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to electrical substations located near demand centers. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. "
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission]

Les coûts d’acheminement seront reflétés conformément au tarif d’utilisation des réseaux en vigueur (TURPE 3 bis actuellement et TURPE 4 à partir de sa mise en oeuvre...)

TURPE (Tarif d’Utilisation des Réseaux Publics d’Electricité) => "Les coûts d’acheminement" include primarily the transmission costs (French national high voltage grid)
