How Delaware Deregulated Energy Works for Business

Delaware passed the Electric Utility Restructuring Act of 1999, opening electric supply to retail competition. Delmarva Power remains the delivery utility for most of the state. The supply portion of your commercial bill is negotiable with licensed third-party suppliers.

We start with a signed Letter of Authorization to pull your historical usage, audit your current bill, and request bids from 30+ licensed suppliers. You receive fixed-rate offers at 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60 months, normalized for all pass-throughs. The supplier handles the switch with Delmarva Power, and the new rate appears on your next bill.
