What’s the good news about cost drivers in Delaware?
These cost drivers are not unique to any one utility even though they may address them differently. Delaware’s municipal electric utilities are public power providers, meaning they are not-for-profit and community-owned This means:
- Rates are set to cover actual costs, not to generate profits.
- Money stays in the community, funding local services and economic growth such as parks and recreation programs, local police departments and more.
- Decisions are made by local leaders who know their community’s needs.
In addition, your public power utility actively advocates on your behalf at the state and federal levels to combat these stacking costs.
