Sustainability Commitment

DEMEC, like other public power systems across the nation, is a leader in the development of alternative energy resources and energy efficiency in the communities they serve. 

DEMEC has supported various energy initiatives with its members since 2004, well before state standards were codified. DEMEC has agreements for wind power from the Laurel Hill Wind Farm in Lycoming, Pennsylvania and solar power from the Dover Sun Park, Milford Solar Farm, and the Smyrna Solar Facility. In addition, DEMEC supports members’ grant programs to help provide assistance for residents seeking to install their own energy generation resources. 

DEMEC has made significant long-term investments in reducing emissions and has invested over $100 million in the development of a large portfolio of qualifying zero-emissions energy generation resources to achieve the lowest possible compliance cost. DEMEC’s goal is to install low-emissions resources in each of its member communities.
