Summary
Delmarva Power, Delaware’s largest utility, is suing the Public Service Commission after it denied their request for a major rate hike—claiming the commission shortchanged them on critical grid investment funds. Originally asking for $68 million, including $23 million for a mandated DSIC charge to fund reliability upgrades, they later lowered their ask but still lost out. Citing recent storm outages that left 7% of customers without power, Delmarva argues these investments are essential—and now seeks an even bigger $75.8 million increase, the largest in company history. With new state laws complicating temporary rate hikes and legal proceedings pending, the battle over who pays for a more resilient grid is heating up.
