Delmarva Power and Light

If the request is approved, households could end up paying an extra $11 more per month.

Delmarva Power says the rate increase will help maintain the grid and replace its aging infrastructure.

When I'm working, I'm always... able to stop and the Lord's able to give me a nudge.

So one day I'm working with some engineers up at Delmarva Power and Light down in Delaware.

And as you go through the plant, your testimony kind of like goes before you because you share with one, pretty soon everybody knows that, hey, Larry's going to share something.

So there was an engineer working with me.

Does it ...

Like, like how much are you able to actually standardize versus given the reality of a h- handful of century-old institutions on their own? How much do you run into just the sort of the natural barriers of the fact that we've always done it this way in Delmarva, uh, and no one does it that way at Pepco or at ComEd?

Um, there are some of those probably because of legacy equipment, right?

Mm-hmm.

Multi-year plans build in forecasts of capital and operating spending across several years.

Baltimore Gas and Electric went first, followed by Potomac Electric Power Company and Delmarva Power and Light.

Regulators hoped the approach would reduce regulatory lag, spread increases over time, make bills more predictable, and encourage innovation.

According to the Commission, the plans did shorten utilities' cost recovery periods, but that advantage did not produce clear, measurable benefits for ratepayers.

Annual reconciliations show how forecasts and actual costs drift apart.

In May 2025, the Delaware Public Service Commission verified this exact variance.

They confirmed that Delmarva Power over-recovered about $800,000 of its 2024 revenue requirement.

The utility returned these over-collected funds through consecutive bill credits from July 2025 through June 2026.

Well, some good news for a change, and I'd like to be the harbinger of some good news, is that the customers of BG&E and two other utilities are looking to get refunds tied to the state tax overpayments.

BGE, Delmarva Power, and Pepco, all owned by Exelon, said they are planning to seek regulatory approval to pass along about $160 million in tax refunds to Maryland customers.

Refunds to the utility stem from the Supreme Court of Maryland ruling.

a couple months ago, that certain equipment for transmitting and distributing electricity qualifies for a state sales tax exemption.

They're major shareholders in Amazon and Costco, both of who received insane tax decreases while the rest of us got jacked.

They indirectly own Delmarva Power through ownership in Exelon, the parent company to Delmarva Power, and our power bills and our energy bills have been skyrocketing due to ESG policies here in Delaware due to green energy initiatives that our lawmakers passed knowing there was no possible way-

Stop there.

Man, I could never, ever fucking pick Delaware.

And in Delaware, about 600 customers are still waiting for the power to return.

According to Delmarva Power, those outages are spread out across Newcastle and Sussex counties.

Police are investigating a deadly stabbing in Kensington.

Investigators say a 27-year-old man was found stabbed on a gas station parking lot on the 200 block of West Lehigh Avenue at about 2.45 this morning.
