The cost of electricity is reaching untenable levels, and it's impacting hardworking individuals and families across Delaware and Maryland. As someone who's seen electricity bills skyrocket over the past few months, I can tell you firsthand that it's not just about cutting back on other expenses anymore—it's about making tough choices every single month. Whether it's deciding between putting food on the table or staying warm during the winter, these are compromises no one should have to make in one of the wealthiest nations on earth.

Delmarva Power's "delivery" fees are a significant part of this financial burden. Despite being marketed as necessary for infrastructure and maintenance, these fees are disproportionately high compared to other regions. In fact, many residents report that delivery charges often exceed the cost of the electricity itself! It feels like nothing short of price gouging, taking advantage of consumers who simply want fair and transparent billing.

According to a recent consumer report, energy costs in the Delmarva region have risen by over 30% in the last five years, far outpacing both the national average and the regional inflation rate. This sharp increase is not reflective of service improvements but rather unjust fee structures. We need to demand accountability and transparency from Delmarva Power to ensure that every household can meet its energy needs without financial strain!

Contant the Maryland Public Service Commission if you would like to file a complaint along with signing this petition.
