Delmarva Power Rates To Rise In 2013

DOVER — Delmarva Power customers will see higher rates in 2013. Delaware Public Service Commissioners Jay Lester, Joann Conaway and Jeffrey Clark voted unanimously Nov. 29 to approve a $22 million settlement between Delmarva Power and the state, allowing rates to go up for the utility’s customers.

The settlement calls for advanced metering infrastructure, or smart meters, to be installed for all Delmarva Power customers.

According to the settlement, a typical residential Delmarva Power customer using an average of 1,000 kilowatt hours per month will see an increase of 3.3 percent in their electric bill, from $136.86 per month to $141.35 per month.

I feel so much better now knowing electric companies and fuel companies are the same. Soak them for all they can get.

According to the member guide from Choptank, a typical customer with a usage of 1000 kWh would pay a bottom line of $133.29.

Just for comparison.

Comparing to Delaware Coop, a typical customer with 1000 kWh usage would pay $111.72.

Better than both DP&L and Choptank.
