Does revenue decoupling guarantee Delmarva a profit?
No. Revenue decoupling would not guarantee a profit for Delmarva. The Public Service Commission, based on careful and extensive review, determines how much cost Delmarva is entitled to recover for what it spends to build and maintain wires and poles as well as what it spends for personnel, equipment and other costs. This amount, determined by the Commission, is the amount that Delmarva is entitled to bill its customers. Ultimately, Delmarva makes a profit, or incurs a loss, depending on how well it controls its costs.
