Show Notes
Delmarva Power, Delawares largest utility, is seeking a significant increase in electric bills for 2026. The first hike, an average of $15 per month, is due to higher wholesale power costs from a recent auction. The second increase, in July, aims to boost profits for grid infrastructure upgrades. Consumer Advocate Jameson Tweedie opposes the profit grab, citing the burden on families and Delmarvas monopoly status. The demand for electricity is surging regionally due to AI boomtowns and data centers, which could nearly double Delawares power needs. Delmarva is legally obligated to connect these new centers, potentially leading to further bill increases unless regulators intervene.
