(business) overheads
Explanation:
In English we always refer to these type of business utility costs as overheads. A direct translation of your phrase would be structural costs but these tend to simply cover the costs of maintaining fixed tangible assets in other words "structures".

I have never heard the term structure costs I am afraid, and have found very few references.

Here are some references on overheads including a definition. Good luck. If you wish to clarify business overheads is also commonly used.
