How come Delmarva is increasing its delivery rates in Maryland but not in Delaware?
A. Delmarva Power’s delivery business is regulated by the respective Public Service Commissions in the states in which it operates. That means our rates (and pricing structure) are set and determined by the respective Public Service Commissions in those states. When seeking a rate increase in its delivery business, Delmarva Power must provide sufficient data that justifies the request. Delmarva Power requested this rate increase to offset the escalating cost of improving service reliability for Maryland customers via upgrades to facilities and equipment. The Maryland PSC, after careful review, then decided to approve the request.
