Delaware Electric COOP

The Delaware Electric Cooperative’s service territory is located in Kent and Sussex County where Conectiv Power Delivery and other municipal utilities do not provide service. In 2001, the EIA noted that this cooperatively-owned utility had nearly 60,000 customers and sold a total of 832,136,000 kWh of electricity.

The Cooperative provides educational information on energy efficiency through resources provided by the U.S. DOE and offers a link to U.S. DOE “Energy Savers” web site; however no organized energy efficiency programs are being offered at this time. The Delaware Electric Cooperative’s existing interconnection policy is limited to 1 MW and includes a net energy metering tariff for eligible members installing renewable energy generation facilities not exceeding 25 kW. The rules and tariff can be downloaded from their website.
