Why start revenue decoupling?
Distribution costs historically have been billed to consumers based on the amount of energy used. Revenue decoupling would enable Delmarva to support energy efficiency and its resulting environmental benefits without having to sacrifice financial stability. Revenue decoupling would also stabilize the amount of delivery cost billed to customers. Customers would be billed a fixed amount for delivery costs rather than a variable amount that depends on the amount of electricity used each month and which can be impacted by factors such as weather.
