I don't know why anyone would not include the "delivery" fee, I think it really is that cheap in many places in the US.
Here in NYC the "supply" charge is much less than half of the total bill. If I add up all the fees and surcharges and taxes etc, the total ends up around 35 cents / KWh, which I thought was rather high until I heard about California ...
I pay around 10 cents per kWh in the southern US; we have a nearby nuclear plant. We do have a base fee just for the meter, but no separate transmission fee. My in-laws in Texas have an open market for generation but pay transmission separately.
