Governor Pushes to Block Delmarva Rate Hike | Dover News

Governor Matt Meyer is fighting Delmarva Power’s push for an interim rate hike, urging the Public Service Commission to halt it before July ninth to shield struggling Delaware families from rising energy costs. He argues the commission’s duty is to protect consumers, especially as many low-income households already spend 10% of their income on electricity. Delmarva counters that rates fund grid reliability and infrastructure, citing a 28% drop in outages over the past decade. The governor has formally submitted his letter and constituent complaints to the commission’s record, calling for action as the review continues.
