Advocate for Fair Electricity and Gas Rates in Delaware
Advocate for Fair Electricity and Gas Rates in Delaware
The Issue
As a concerned citizen of Delaware, it seems as though Delmarva Power (Excelon) has been given the freedom to disproportionately charge for infrastructure, such as solar and wind power, which many of us don't use. Alarmingly, the distribution charges seem to be even higher than the actual cost of electricity or gas use. This is more than just an unjust charge – it is a blind imposition that doesn't align with consumer consumption.
Such high costs pose a serious burden on financially strapped residents who struggle to meet the unprecedented electricity and gas bills. For example, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that the average residential monthly electric bill in Delaware is currently one of the highest in the nation. However, the discrepancy in charges by Delmarva Power is making it difficult for people to manage their energy costs.
It is paramount that we address this issue as a community, and request that the Delaware utility authorities look into these unfounded distribution charges being levied by Delmarva Power. We need a fairer pricing system for our utilities, one that reflects actual usage rather than funding costly infrastructure schemes that benefit few. We need to raise awareness of this issue and urge for immediate action.
Let's address this issue collectively and call upon the Delaware utility authorities to ensure all costs are justified and proportional to actual use. Please, sign this petition to support fair pricing in our utilities.
