It recommends requiring comprehensive prudence reports for all infrastructure projects and adopting a strict prudence standard, as supported by the City of Wilmington. The petition also highlights the need for transparency in cost allocation for new large loads, such as data centers, to ensure residential customers are not subsidizing these projects. Finally, it requests a clear, long-term cost-containment strategy from Delmarva Power to reduce the frequency of future rate increases, emphasizing the importance of affordability, efficiency, and fairness for Delaware residents.
